Changing the default shell on unix (linux, bsd, commercial unixes, etc)
generally means changing the link /bin/sh to whatever you want. In this
case, /bin/sh is probably a symlink to /bin/csh. To change to bash,
link it to /bin/bash. Be aware that bash1 is old and may not run newer
scripts. Also, changing that link will break any scripts on your system
that assume #!/bin/sh will have it parsed by csh (so check your init
scripts).

Where would I make the change for this? I have been looking around and found
how to do it for users but not systemwide. I have a command in my
/etc/rc.local that won't start using the csh shell I get an 'ambiguous
output redirect' message. When I switch over to sh and run the same command
it works just fine. But I need this command to start at system bootup time.
Any ideas?
