sh-3.2$ ./temperature.sh
Unknown OS linux

sh-3.2$ echo $?
1
Exactly, temperature.sh checks the $BBOSTYPE variable for known OS
types
It should match on the linux|redhat) line but doesn't
No, because "linux<newline>" doesn't match "linux". You need to figure
out where that extra newline comes from; the Hobbit client
"runclient.sh" script picks it up from the "uname -s" output, and that
should not (normally) include a newline. So either uname is broken on
these boxes, or BBOSTYPE is being set somewhere else.
In your example above, it shows the problem.  The temperature.sh script
gets
the $BBOSTYPE from the environment, not set anywhere.  Also from your
example,
the exit code from the script is 1.  That's the same exit code I get
when I run
the script manually, but it exits because $BBOSTYPE don't match.  Look
near the
bottom of the temperature.sh script.  I have to assume that you're
running Linux,
so why does temperature.sh, exit 1 when you run it?

Whether or not I have convinced you of the above issue, how does the
script 
terminate with a status of 5 or 7, when it returns 1?

Thanks
