Question

i can't change user default shell

so what trick can i do to execute my bash script with ssh ?

Answer 1

You can call your script explicitly with bash:

ssh <ssh-opts> bash <scriptname>

This way there will be a ksh executed at login, but inside ksh you start a bash executing your script.

Answer 2

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.
