Managing Your Account

• When your account is first activated, the default shell is set to bash. The tcsh shell is also available. To change your shell to tcsh, add the following line to the end of the file named .bash_profile, located in your home ($HOME) directory.

  exec -l /bin/tcsh
  

  To begin using this new shell, you can either log out and then log back in or execute exec -l /bin/tcsh on your command line.

  Warning

  If you also have an account on the Campus Cluster, changing your shell on Illinois HTC will also change your shell on the Campus Cluster because of the shared home directories.

• The Campus Cluster uses the module system to set up the user environment. See Importing Modules for details.

• You can reset your NetID password at the Password Management page.
