CentOS 7 Does Not Switch Boot Shell Settings

·What do you want to do
I installed zsh on CentOS 7 on vagrant with reference to https://qiita.com/d-dai/items/084cace7f6bfd3580f9d.And I confirmed that the path of zsh (/usr/local/bin/zsh) can be run directly.
I want to switch the default boot shell from bash to zsh.

·Problems
To change the boot shell, use the

#echo/usr/local/bin/zsh>>/etc/shells
# chsh-s/usr/local/bin/zsh

I ran , but then exec$SHELL-l did not start zsh and bash started.
The result of echo$SHELL remained /bin/bash.
How can I switch the boot shell successfully?

add
It was resolved by logging in again with vagrant ssh after exiting once.
Thank you for your reply.

You cannot rewrite environment variables (such as $SHELL) for another process from one process (such as $SHELL), so you can rewrite the file or run commands such as chsh(1) to keep the existing login shell process $SHELL.If you want to switch interaction shells without logging out, do export SHELL=/usr/local/bin/zsh and then exec $SHELL-l or exec env SHELL=/usr/local/bin/zsh/usr/local/bin/zsh-l.
