Hi Bill,
Do you mean below that the current process is running and that you are running
possibly a different shell inside of that process?
Thanks.

Linux
If your system administrator won't make the change for you or he/she is
taking too long you can always do the following after logging on:
exec ksh
- or whichever shell you prefer.
By using "exedc" you are instructing Linux/Unix to execute that program as
part of the current (shell) process. Be careful using "exec" with a
terminating program (I.e., "exec ls") because that will terminate your login
session when that terminating program exits.
