If you are able to change users, you could change your default shell to bash using smitty for example.
Otherwise just put an exec bash
in your ~/.profile at the end and your shell will be automatically switched to bash.
Question
I am working with AIX and logged in with a user that is not able to autocomplete directory paths and filenames. First I have to commit bash
in putty then I can use tabulator-key to autocomplete directory paths.
What do I have to do that I do not need to commit bash
command? Maybe I have to set an entry to a special file? Thanks in advance!

OTHER TIPS
Just did this on AIX 7.1.1.0 ! The command is:
chsh <username> /bin/bash
followed by a restart of the SSH session.
Done.
