Just a guess here, but try closing your oratab_file descriptor. The
bash shell will usually hang around if there are open file descriptors
or child processes running. If closing the file descriptor does not
work, then try looking for open sockets or running children.

oratab_file = Oratab()
File.open(oratab_file, 'r') do |ofile|
  bash.execute ">instancestatus-output.txt"
  ofile.each { |oratab_line|
    ...
  }
end
