What is the Command to display the default shell in unix?
There isn't a concept of a 'default' shell in Unix; you may have a login shell specified by the system administrator for use when you log in. Although it isn't a fool-proof way to find your shell, you could use the command: echo $SHELL or use the 'finger' command to see what your default login shell environment is. You could also 'grep' for your information in the password file because the last field is your login environment shell.
