Using lstcsh as Your Login Shell

If your system administrator allows, you can use LSF as your login shell. The

/etc/shells file contains a list of all the shells you are allowed to use as your login

shell.

Setting your login shell

Using csh

The chsh command can set your login shell to any of those shells. If the /etc/shells

file does not exist, you cannot set your login shell to

lstcsh.

For example,

user3 can run the command:

chsh user3 /usr/share/lsf/bin/lstcsh

The next time user3 logs in, the login shell will be lstcsh.

Using a standard

system shell

if you cannot set your login shell using chsh, you can use one of the standard system

shells to start

lstcsh when you log in.

To set up

lstcsh to start when you log in:

Use chsh to set /bin/sh to be your login shell.

Edit the .profile file in your home directory to start lstcsh, as shown below:

SHELL=/usr/share/lsf/bin/lstcsh

export SHELL

exec $SHELL -l
