looks fine to me, except that I tend to run a check to make sure that it 
has run ok, like
$myReturn = shell_exec('/test/acct.sh');
or
if (shell_exec('/test/acct.sh');

On some systems you have to execute the script
eg
$myReturn = shell_exec('. /test/acct.sh');

Also make sure that the acct.sh script is executable by the php user
(chmod / chown are your evil friends :) )
