Ok what is the command to find out the default shell used by a user in your OS based on the user's name? This will tell me the shell to run to check environment parameters in. You see the think that absolutely sucks about this thankless piece of code is that the environment can be different because users can have different shells in UNIX. The property you're looking for in the environment may not be available. So the strategy I used was to check in the user's default environment hence the need to peek into the /etc/passwd file to get the user's shell executable path. Now I also need to know about your shells. I shall unless told otherwise presume that OS X is a UNIX variant and that it has shells like sh, ksh, csh and bash.
