test doesn't output anything...it indicates success/failure with the |
| 7 |
exit code. Try the following test.sh script: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 10 |
/usr/bin/test "$@" |
| 11 |
rc=$? |
| 12 |
if test "$rc" -eq 0; then |
| 13 |
echo "'test $@' was successful" |
| 14 |
else |
| 15 |
echo "'test $@' failed with code $rc" |
| 16 |
fi |
| 17 |
|

As others have said though, watch out for the 'test' command built-in |
| 19 |
to many shells, as the behavior there is defined by the shell. |
| 20 |
Generally though, /usr/bin/test and bash test should work the same.... |
