There may be a language barrier here, but I have no idea what you are trying to do.

Please use CODE tags!

If you just want to print the result "567", one way to do it is:
Code:
echo 567

The script that you provided:
Code:
bash # ./xx.sh
>> count
567

will start an interactive bash shell.
When you exit that shell, it will create a file named count if it didn't already exist.
Then it will try to run a command named 567.
