Shellchooser is a Bash script meant to run as a users shell, althouh it is not a shell of it's own, it's an interactive chooser for different shells. The shells avaliable to choose from in the script is Bash, Ash and Csh. It uses dialog to display a nice menu. Since the script is meant to run before the user has a sane environment all binaries used by the script is being run from variables. The variables for the binaries are generated by a loop which uses which to get the path for the binaries. The which command is hardcoded and might need to be changed on different systems.

Usage

Bundled with shellchooser is a small Makefile to ease installation of the script. Simply run make install to install shellchooser.sh into /bin and the profile/bashrc/cshrc files into /etc/shellchooser. The installation also put /bin/shellchooser.sh into /etc/shells so that system utilities won't complain about it not being a valid shell.
