The [[ below is not part of POSIX (https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_04) and should be changed too IHMO.

I will merge this first, then #608. Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem. Or did I miss something? Thank you for the feedback! |

Although bash is available in most distributions, this is not always the case.
A notable example are docker containers based on Alpine linux it's more often missing than present.
This PR makes sure it works everywhere by relying on a shell instead of a specific shell.
The FHS defines that if the system has shells (1 or more), at least one of them should be in
/bin. So the forced location is not a problem.The script itself doesn't need any change, it always does exactly the same. It doesn't matter if you use bash, zsh, csh or even busybox.
