This line well echo "processing" and redirect the output to /tmp/test

> echo "PATH = $PATH";

This line will echo PATH = /your path (whatever it is).

> echo "SHELL = $SHELL";

This line will echo SHELL = /bin/bash, if bash is your shell but those lines 
won't change your path or shell in any way.

I would expect /usr/local/bin/hpt toss does run if that is the path to hpt.

Binkd doesn't run hpt, it just runs your script that needs to do what you want 
it to do.
