It would be easier to add a shebang at the top of your `.sh` file to
specify the interpreter, i.e. make the first line of the file

`#!/usr/local/bin/bash`

(assuming that is the path to `bash`)

This.  ALWAYS shebang.

This is the portable way to do it:

`#!/usr/bin/env bash`

Is everything in your interactive shell path in the PATH variable in
the script?   Does some piece of your script call something NOT in
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin  ?
