# Shells
|
|
|
|
Dash - fast but limited funcionality, great for scripts.
|
|
|
|
sh - primitive and ubiquitous.
|
|
|
|
bash - the standard
|
|
|
|
elvish - user-friendly, but new, with a full file-browser embedded into the system.
|
|
|
|
# Login
|
|
|
|
All shells launch either as login or non-login. All remote sessions without a GUI withl require authentication, and therefore will be login.
|
|
|
|
## Login
|
|
|
|
These shells start by reading /etc/profile then the first of ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile, and load all given values.
|
|
|
|
## Non-Login
|
|
|
|
Non-login shells will read /etc/bash.bashrc and then the ~/.bashrc file. You can summon the different shell perameters with the command `.`.
|
|
|
|
For example, so summon the file ~/.bashrc, you can perform:
|
|
|
|
`. ~/.bashrc`
|
|
|
|
How the logout is handled depends upon ~/.bash_logout
|
|
|
|
# Defaults
|
|
|
|
The default shell config files to create for a new user are under /etc/skel.
|
|
|
|
# Shellcheck
|
|
|
|
Run `shellcheck script.sh` on your scripts to check them for mistakes.
