Question

I want to execute a bash script with ssh but when I try this it’s using ksh which is the user’s default shell.

I can’t change that default.

So, how can I trick ssh to execute my script with bash instead of the default shell?

Answer 1

Make this the first line of your script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

Edit: As per this, the utility of /usr/bin/env is dubious. So, you probably want:

#!/bin/bash

Replace /bin/bash with the actual path of bash executable.
