Ah! Caught.

Okay, you want a file that tests another file.  The easy way to do this is not to dip into shell programming at all, but to write your script as another racket program.  For the example you provide:

****
#lang racket

(require "file.rkt")
(require rackunit)

(check-equal? (twice 2) 4)
*****


Then just run this file from the command-line.  If it were called 'tests.rkt', you could run it as

racket tests.rkt
