Baseline Set of Login Shells and User Selection
BC Project: FY05-06
Date of Policy: 12 Oct 2005
Last Updated: 08 Oct 2021 (see Revision Log)
A user may specify any login shell in the login shell baseline as their preferred shell by logging on to the Portal to the Information Environment (pIE) https://ieapp.hpc.mil. Your preferred shell will become your default shell within 1 day.
Participating centers will honor preferred shell requests that are entered into pIE (portal to the Information Environment) for all systems where the user has accounts.
This policy will be documented at each center's website in the system User's Guides under the User Environment section.
Default Login Shell Baseline Set
- Bourne shell (sh)
- C shell (csh)
- Enhanced C shell (tcsh)
- GNU Bourne-again shell (bash)
- Korn shell (ksh)
- Z shell (zsh)
