UserShell is a tiny gem that uses the canonical approach to detect the shell for the current user, or a specified user. The techniques are ugly so it seemed like it would be worth hiding them behind a gem.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'usershell'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install usershell
UserShell.path => "/bin/zsh"
UserShell.path('john') => "/usr/local/bin/fish"
Attempting to get the shell path for a user that doesn't exist will raise an ArgumentError.
