BTW
What is the content of the test.sh?

Does it start with '#!/bin/bash' or '#!/bin/sh' ?
If not your command shouls be '/bin/bash /full path/test.sh'


Just a tip, use as command "(/home/usr/paul/bin/text.sh)"
Yes indeed surround your command with ()
This force all output by bash and command to 1 output for process_read
