Yes. You could change the used remote shell in `tramp-methods' to
bash. If you, for example, use "ssh", you could apply
(setcdr (assoc 'tramp-remote-sh (assoc "ssh" tramp-methods)) '("/bin/bash"))
For some reason, that is not doing anything:
(require 'tramp)
(setcdr (assoc 'tramp-remote-sh (assoc "ssh" tramp-methods)) '("/bin/bash"))
(setcdr (assoc 'tramp-remote-sh (assoc "scp" tramp-methods)) '("/bin/bash"))
(setcdr (assoc 'tramp-remote-sh (assoc "scp1" tramp-methods)) '("/bin/bash"))
(setcdr (assoc 'tramp-remote-sh (assoc "scp1_old" tramp-methods)) '("/bin/bash"))
(setcdr (assoc 'tramp-remote-sh (assoc "scp2" tramp-methods)) '("/bin/bash"))
(setcdr (assoc 'tramp-remote-sh (assoc "scp2_old" tramp-methods)) '("/bin/bash"))
But even with that, when I type
M-x shell
and then echo $0
the response is /bin/sh not /bin/bash
