Trying to identify the path to the default shell in my environment, using:
echo $shell
However, when I run this, I get a blank response. The system runs for about 5 seconds, then returns nothing in the next line, followed by the command prompt again.
Any ideas what this means, and how do I find the path?
BTW, there is meant to be a path visible if I type that command.
Edit:
Tried echo $SHELL
and got the same response from the system.
echo $SHELL
grep $USER /etc/passwd
produce?echo $SHELL
