My /etc/profile code is:
# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).

if [ "$BASH" ] && [ "$BASH" != "/bin/sh" ]; then
# The file bash.bashrc already sets the default PS1.
# PS1='\h:\w\$ '
if [ -f /etc/bash.bashrc ]; then

I've tried to fix it using
"cp /ect/skel/.bashrc ~/"

'ash: /user/.bashrc: line 1: `function module() {
I have tried removing the word "function" and I have also tried removing the ()

How can I find out whether a script is written in bash or sh?
The first line of the script is not helpful here, since on Linux, bash scripts have this line:
