/bin/bash: bundle: command not found

Answer 1

By executing a command that way: /bin/bash -l -c

You are launching a bash command as a login shell which is going to source (execute) /etc/profile bash file as a setup file. By doing so, if you check this file, it might have bash command lines that erase your previous $PATH which you do not want to since it contains your path to your bundle and all your other commands in the first place.

To fix this issue you just have to remove the lines related to set up the $PATH variable in your /etc/profile file.
