Are you saying that you have a file open (tmp.out) which has been 
changed on disk (by your bash script) and TextMate does not notice this 
(and thus, does not reload the file)?

If so, I am not sure what could cause that.

If the bash script is in the current document than ⌘R should run it. 
If not then do you want ⌘R to always run this script, regardless of 
current document, if so you need to create a TextMate command, but if 
you only want ⌘R to run it when files from the same folder is open, 
then I suggest creating a Makefile to run it, by default ⌘B will 
“build” the current Makefile goal and ⌘R will build the Makefile 
goal named ‘run’ (unless you set TM_MAKE_RUN_TARGET).
