       shells - shell database

DESCRIPTION
       The  shells  file  contains  a list of the shells on the system.  For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's
       path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (``#'') indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  rou-
       tines which search the file.  Blank lines are also ignored.
