<title>Login shells</title>

Shells in UNIX based systems can be started up in login and non-login
 modes:

 <title>Login shell</title>
 A login shell is a shell given to a user upon login into their user
 account. This is initiated by using the <cmd>-l</cmd> or
 <cmd>--login</cmd> option, or placing a dash as the initial character
 of the command name, for example invoking <cmd>bash</cmd> as
 <cmd>-bash</cmd>.
 </item>
 <item>
 <title>Sub shell</title>
 Sub shell, also called a non-login shell is a shell started after
 the login process without the <cmd>-l</cmd> or <cmd>--login</cmd>
 option and without an extra dash before the command name.
 </item>
 </terms>

The general cases for having a login shell include:
 <list>
 <item>
 Accessing your computer remotely using <app>ssh</app>.
 </item>
 <item>
 Simulating an initial login shell with <cmd>bash -l</cmd> or
 <cmd>sh -l</cmd>.
 </item>
 <item>
 Simulating an initial root login shell with <cmd>sudo -i</cmd>.
 </item>
 </list>
