ICS accounts are given csh shell by default, but there are other shells available that users may change to. These other shells offer improvements such as tab completion. To change your shell, please go to the below website (if connecting from off-campus, please start up VPN first).
https://support.ics.uci.edu/passwd
At the bottom of the page you can can change your shell to any of the ones listed. The change is not immediate, so please move onto the next step to set up your shell.
Using PuTTY or SecureCRT, please login to gojira.ics.uci.edu via ssh
ssh gojira.ics.uci.eduDepending on the shell that you're changing to, copy over an example file to your home directory. If you already have shell login file, copy it into an old file for backup. For example, if you are chaning to tcsh shell and you already have the .cshrc file, do the following:
cp ~/.cshrc ~/.cshrc.oldNow, copy over a new copy of the login file.
csh or tcsh
cp /opt/local/etc/skel/acct/example.cshrc ~/.cshrcbash
