Hi all

I would like to know what my current shell is? i.e The shell at the time of login.

I knw the below commands

echo $SHELL

but this is not doing the job..

Any other way to find it?

What is the below line doin?

ps -ef | grep $PPID

Will this fetchn the corret shell the user is in?

2

grep <youraccount> /etc/passwd...

Hi Vbe

Yes, this is possible. But what in case the user is in a ldap directory?

maybe :

 ps -ef|grep "$$"|grep -ve grep -e ps
6 
ps -p$$

But I was expecting someone coming up with a "killer" sed stuff, not something that easy:D
