To find out what shell is the login shell type
echo $SHELL
To find out what shell you are running type
echo $0
To run the Korn shell type
ksh
To kill the shell you are currenting using type
control-D
To clear bash command history on logout truncate ~.bash_history in
~.bash_logout.
Note that desktop environments do not respect Unix conventions and
standards so some of the above may not work as expected in some DEs.
