Unfortunately, this complains of the "echo" executable not found. ;-(

That's because your have "echo args" and pass that to the shell - the shell sees that as one token. However, if you fix that and pass echo "args" to the shell, not much will get printed, because that output gets eaten by the backticks. You have to try something like:

`echo "args" > /dev/tty`
