[01] WHAT UNIX SHELLS ARE AVAILABLE HERE?
|
|
|
|
A 'shell' is how you interact with the 'kernel'. The kernel is the
|
|
software that translates your commands into instructions that the
|
|
hardware (machine) can understand. The origin of the word 'shell'
|
|
actually comes from MULTICS, which UNIX attempts to mimic.
|
|
|
|
/bin/sh Stephen Bourne's Shell
|
|
/bin/csh A shell with a C-like syntax
|
|
/bin/ksh David Korn's Shell (default)
|
|
/usr/pkg/bin/bash GNU's Broken Again SHell
|
|
/usr/pkg/bin/tcsh BBN TENEX Shell .. Not quite like EXEC
|
|
/usr/pkg/bin/rc PLAN 9 'Run Commands' Shell
|
|
/usr/pkg/bin/zsh Paul Falstad's Shell
|
|
|
|
The best thing to do is read up on the shell using the 'man'
|
|
command. You can run the shell by just executing it. When
|
|
you are sure you really want to change to that shell you:
|
|
|
|
run the 'maint' command at shell to connect to 'ol.freeshell.org'
|
|
and maintain/adjust password and shell settings.
