How to run addtional Shells on top of the default shell

Hi

What is the command to run additional available shells on top of default shell. I am using bash

also how can i tell that the additional shells are actually running?


Also what is the advantage of running additional shells on top of your default login shell of bash?

Lastly How can I terminate the shells I opened What would happens if i accidentally closed the default login shell?

Thanks

Bill thompson
