Hi can any body tell me the command to know in which shell you are in?Suppose I am a user and I don't have the root access.Then can I change the permissions of my friend if I am in the same group?What settings do I need for that?Another problem is I am sourcing a file in which there are some alias commands.But even if I source the file(mode is 777) still those aliases are not set.Can anybody suggest me a probable soltion for that.If I type them indivisually on the screen they work fine.
Thanks in advance.

Added after 11 minutes:

Just now I got the solution for the 1st one.It's $ echo $SHELL .But I need answer for other qns.
 

chsh can help. Just man chsh.
 

Every linux shell sets $SHELL variable.
Run in console this command:

echo $SHELL and you'll have an answer.

If you are using bash, you'll have something like this: "/bin/bash", for csh you'll get "/bin/sh" and so on.

Hope this helps.
