Accessing the shells — the choices
User's settings are initially configured with the z/OS shell as the default login shell. To display these
settings from TSO type:
LISTUSER USERNAME OMVS
The
RACF® settings for that user are displayed:
UID= 0000000012
HOME= /shut/home/billyjc
PROGRAM= /bin/sh
CPUTIMEMAX= NONE
ASSIZEMAX= NONE
FILEPROCMAX= NONE
PROCUSERMAX= NONE
THREADSMAX= NONE
MMAPAREAMAX= NONE
READY
The
PROGRAM line refers to the user's login shell. If it is /bin/sh, the login
shell is set to the z/OS shell. If it is
/bin/tcsh, the login shell is the tcsh shell. To change a user's default login
shell from the z/OS shell to the tcsh shell,
issue this command:
ALTUSER USERNAME OMVS(PROGRAM('/bin/tcsh'))
To
change a user's default login shell from the tcsh shell to the z/OS shell, type:
ALTUSER USERNAME OMVS(PROGRAM('/bin/sh'))
