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?

    Fish is fine as login shell. If you run into trouble on the command line with the * sign for some things the easiest and fastest way around that is to type : bash and when done, type exit (or control d).
