Yes, you can revert the user's shell from bash back to sh using the usermod command.

Command:

To change the shell of the user joker back to sh, you would use:

sudo usermod -s /bin/sh joker

Explanation:

  • sudo: Runs the command with superuser privileges.
  • usermod: The command used to modify user accounts.
  • -s: Specifies the new login shell.
  • /bin/sh: The path to the shell you want to set (in this case, sh).
  • joker: The username of the account you are modifying.

Note:

Make sure that the specified shell (/bin/sh) exists on your system. After executing this command, the next time the user joker logs in, they will be using sh as their shell.
