The scripts should specify a shebang #!/usr/bin/env bash instead of relying on the default shell

check_user_in_sudo.sh fails to get executed on fish shell, resulting in an Error 205: ServerUserNotInSudo:

$ CUR_USER=$(whoami);\
  groups $CUR_USER
fish: Unsupported use of '='. In fish, please use 'set CUR_USER $(whoami)'.
