Do you recognize that puppet executions are performed by user 'root'?
Does this file have 777 permissions?
Is the first line of 'test' something like "#!/bin/bash" ? Probably a good idea
to get in the practice of naming shell script files with a recognizable
extension (i.e. test.sh)
I suppose that the reason the other commands success is simply because the
redirection exists so the redirection occurs and the command is true,
regardless of anything that occurs or fails in your shell script itself.
