Description

When using azure functions to start a function on nixos (linux), functions fails to start if /bin/bash does not exist. This can easily be mitigated by instead using /bin/sh or /usr/bin/env bash.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the hardcoded /bin/bash path in the source code and replace it with a more portable shebang, such as /bin/sh or /usr/bin/env bash. Verify the change works on NixOS and other Linux distributions.
