You can't really do that - some files may be scripts with binary data embedded in them.

I know Sun used to love to distribute products as scripts with the product tar/cpio/whatever binary file embedded right in the script.

Does the file command work on AIX?
Code:
find / -type f -exec file {} \; | egrep -i 'bash|shell'

And perhaps even this works (and is faster)?
Code:
find / -type f -exec file {} + | egrep 'bash|[Aa]gain'
