Re: zsh will not run scripts as /bin/bash even with #!/bin/bash as the first line

The shell, whether zsh or bash, does not pay any attention to the shebang
line. That is done by the operating system kernel. That is, when you
execute a shell script the OS notices that the file is a plain text file
with a "#!" signature and launches the named program to interpret its
contents.

You cannot reasonably expect exported functions to work across different
shells. Put the function in a script file and reference that as your
argument to the parallel command.
