After switching default shell, .command file just opens terminal

Question

I have a myscript.command file like this:

#!/bin/bash


rm -rf ~/Downloads/*

that I added to the login items. However, when I login or manually execute it via double click, it just opens a terminal with my default fish shell without removing any file. If I set my default shell back to zsh, it works.

Why is that? What can I do?

What I've tried so far:

• Change shebang to zsh, sh, fish
• Make file executable for all users

Found the solution: Instead of switching the default shell like described in the official guide (lol) you can switch it by using

chsh -s /path/to/shell .

For some reason this makes.command files work again. Just make sure your desired shell is listed in /etc/shells
