[SunHELP] Shell Problem

[Ravi Katti]

I think just by executing ps command you will get to know the shell used 
currently by the user. Also you may try finger username|grep -i shell. Also 
the syntax of bourne shell is understood by most of the other shells.

Hi

   I want to set up env. variables based upon the shell a user is running, 
so in order to find what shell a user is using, I have to run a script in a 
Shell say /bin/sh. If I run it using #!/bin/sh to find user's shell, every 
shell behaves differently or if I use other methods to find shell then how 
do I use that shell to set env variable that can be read by user's shell and 
other statements are ignored.

Basically I want a general script that can set env variables based on user's 
shell syntex.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Naresh
