Something tells me Fish is not a capable login shell? It was in /etc/shells, but that does not mean it’s a login shell right? Would any shell with job control be a login shell? I’m really scared to logout! Any help is appreciated.

PS: What happens if I choose a shell with no job control whatsover, like Marsh, the shell I’ve been making lately (it has JC, but let’s say it doesn’t!) a my login shell after force-adding it to ‘/etc/shells’? What a design flaw! Or is it?

    dood. this fear is as old as unix. the solution as old as multi user login: go to a different terminal/tty/connection and log in as your user. if it works it means it’s safe to log out because you can log in again. also always do this when you change your ssh public key on a server. keep one log in open while you try a second login, so you can fix it if it broke.
