There are two three methods. One is to check the environments. In that one item will be the shell. Second is to cat /etc/passwd and see the shell that has been allotted to you. The third is run a command, which does not exist. For example "abc". it will give an error and also the name of the shell. bye shiraz __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
