I read that terminal is nothing but shell, and Unix provides different flavors of shells:




  • Bourne shell (sh)

  • C shell (csh)

  • TC shell (tcsh)

  • Korn shell (ksh)

  • Bourne Again shell (bash)



Questions:




  • When I open a terminal window, which shell is opened by default?

  • How do I check how many shells are installed?

  • How do I change the shell used from my account?

You can type the following command in your terminal to see which shell you are using:



echo $0


The result will look something similar to the below if you are using the bash (Bourne Again Shell) terminal:



-bash
