# WHILE the user agostino has /bin/bash as shell (FINE):
test ~ # su - agostino -c 'echo $SHELL'
/bin/bash
test ~ # su - agostino -c 'eselect java-vm set user 1'
test ~ #


# WHILE the user agostino has /sbin/nologin as shell (NOT FINE):
test ~ # su - agostino -c 'echo $SHELL'

A workaround is set bash as shell, change the user-vm and rechange the shell.

It could be useful because some people create unprivileged users to run jar(s).
