I can't seem to run a build execute shell step in Jenkins. I've worked with Hudson in the past on windows and I was able to create shell/batch steps without a problem but I seem to be be missing something here.

It's a fresh jenkins install and I go to "add build step", "execute shell" and enter "echo hi" in the command. I run the build and when I look in the console output, nothing happens.

I've also tried executing a test.sh file which also just echoes hi. I've tested this in both a linux install and an os X installed Jenkins server.

What am I missing in the configuration to run a shell script?

The console output shows that the shell script steps were skipped completely
