How to set for a user a non-login shell?
Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
I am a root in a Unix system. My shell is bash.


2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
How to set for a certain user:
* a non-login interactive shell,
* a login, non-interactive shell,
* a non-login, non-interactive shell.


3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
I read everything I could find, I only found information which files are read by different types of shells. I cannot find anywhere how a root can set a certain shell. I know about useradd and adduser commands where I can use the option -s but I do not know what to put after -s to set a non-interactive shell.


4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
