Hey

if you are in sh you can type ksh then you will be in ksh-Shell and so one if you mean that.

with "echo $0" you can see the current shell.

if we want to go in posix shell then what we have to do?

[Oviwan]

type "sh" for the current session

you can set the default shell in /etc/passwd.
man passwd

don't forget to assign points also in your other threads

All the shells are just programs. If your login uses ksh, then type sh and you'll now be running the POSIX shell. NOTE: this does not change your default login shell. You are just interacting with another shell. You must exit from the new shell to get back to your previous shell.

Now if what you want is to change your default login shell, just use the chsh command like this:

chsh my_login /usr/bin/ksh

or whatever shell you would like to use that is currently installed.

Besides invoking a shell as a process, you can also exec another shell. The previous shell process will no longer exist.
