#621

sometimes when you are logged in to your linux server through ssh, you may wonder, what version shell am i using?

well, thats a good question, its one that i have asked myself also.

so if you want to know what command you can use to find out what linux shell you are currently using this is the command you need to execute:

echo $SHELL

then you will get something like this:

/sbin/bash
