title: execute shell step skipped completely in jenkins
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing in the configuration to run a shell script?</p>
  
  <p>The console output shows that the shell script steps were skipped completely</p>
