This code isn't working I cant see why

its part of this and this
It prints fine but doesnt run the os.shell bit


while true do
  event, side, xPos, yPos = os.pullEvent("monitor_touch")
  print(event .. " => Side: " .. tostring(side) .. ", " ..
    "X: " .. tostring(xPos) .. ", " ..
    "Y: " .. tostring(yPos))
  if yPos == 13 and xPos >= 10 and xPos <= 15 then
    os.shell("TankMon") -- end the function
  end
end
end
