I like the configurablity of the ZSH terminial but I cannot seem to make my login default to the ZSH. Also where is the config file for the ZSH interface? asked 11 May '10, 01:27 The Doc |
To make zsh your default shell, run usermod -s /path/to/zsh [yourusername] or edit your /etc/passwd file by hand "Commands are then read from $ZDOTDIR/.zshenv. If the shell is a login shell, commands are read from /etc/zsh/zprofile and then $ZDOTDIR/.zprofile. Then, if the shell is interactive, commands are read from /etc/zsh/zshrc and then $ZDOTDIR/.zshrc. Finally, if the shell is a login shell, /etc/zsh/zlogin and $ZDOTDIR/.zlogin are read." --from man zsh answered 11 May '10, 01:52 someguy Thank You. The usermod -s command is exactly what I was looking for.
