REMOVE-SHELL(8)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this page is for remove-shell 💖 it's the tool that takes shells off the list of valid login shells 🐚

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

remove-shell shellname [shellname...]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so remove-shell is lowkey a whole vibe 🦋 it works on the temporary files /etc/shells.tmp and /etc/shells.tmp2, yanks the shells you name out of the list of valid login shells, and then copies the cleaned-up result back into /etc/shells ✨ no cap, that's the whole move 🫶

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• DPKG_ROOT — this one sets the base path that /etc/shells lives under 🧚 it's giving "where is my file hiding" energy, so point it at the right root if you need to 🍓
