You can easily define the shell script highlighting yourself. Set this in your preamble:

%---
\lstdefinelanguage{bash}
  {keywords={for, if, else, then, fi, echo, case, in,
      elif, esac, for, do, done, tar, while, until, shift,
      mv, mkdir, ;;, \$\#, \$1, \$2},
   stringizer=[d]{"},
   commentline={\#},
   sensitive=true,
   basicstyle=\ttfamily

  }
%---
This is a small example, and it is not complete at all, but I think you
get the idea now. At the end there is a "key=value" list, these are
automatically set if you select the language. You can try to add
your default font for shell scripts there. Something like this (did not
test this myself):
%---

I hope this was of any use to you…
