Converting from
Menu to Shell Interface
Revised July 2 2003
This webpage details how to convert your U-System use from a Menu-based
interface to a Shell-based interface.
- Login to u.arizona.edu using SSH software or the
web-based
version of SSH if you have a PC
- Choose M for Menu
- Under Menu, select Misc
- Select Shell (the last option on the list)
- Type your password
- From the list of shells you're given, type one
(/bin/tcsh is the default and one
of the simpler ones)
Wait a several minutes, then log into u.arizona.edu
again and you should then have a Shell-based interface (tcsh).
Converting from
Shell to Menu Interface
- Temporarily - while you are using Shell mode, enter the command
menu and you'll be presented with a Menu interface. You'll
need to log out and back in again to return to Shell mode.
- Permanently - type /usr/local/bin/chsh at the
command prompt. Log out and, after about 5 minutes, when you log in you
will have a Menu interface.
