           ^^^^^^^^^
Why are you calling the script "test.com"?  Don't use ".com".  I'd also
recommend not using "test" as the name, as you might run into problems 
with the script built-in "test" command.  If you must use an extension 
for your scripts, use ".sh".  "foo" is a good name for a test script if 
you can't think of another.
