<title>Custom commands and shells</title>

A shell is software that provides an interface for users of an
 operating system to run commands, which can be programs such as
 <app>top</app> or a command line shell. The default shell is usually
 <app>Bash</app>.

You can set <app>Terminal</app> to run a command when it starts up instead
 of awaiting input from you:

<steps>
 <item>
 Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
 <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>.
 </item>
 <item>
 In the sidebar, select your current profile in the <gui>Profiles</gui>
 section.
 </item>
 <item>
 Select <gui style="tab">Command</gui>.
 </item>
 <item>
 Check <gui>Run a custom command instead of my shell</gui>.
 </item>
 <item>
 In the text box, type the command or the desired shell.
 The command will be passed to the terminal exactly as you write it,
 including any arguments that you specify. Environment variables will be
 inherited from the terminal as it is a child process of the terminal.
 </item>
 <item>
 Open a new <app>Terminal</app> tab or window to see how the custom
 shell or command executes.
 </item>
 </steps>

You can also <link xref="pref-custom-exit">set the behavior</link> of
 the terminal once the command finishes executing.

<note style="important">
 You may have to enter full path to the command or the shell if the
 directory where the command or shell resides is not in the
 <code>PATH</code> variable of your system.
 </note>
