Description Pawel Worach 2004-08-24 15:59:33 UTC 
/bin/sh is not bash on every system so be more gentle and use the
>out 2>&1 style instead of >&. Patch is coming up.

Proposed fix 2

This script uses more bash specifics which i missed in my first glance.
Make sure we use bash to execute it.

Take 3

Don't use /proc to check if the X server is running, kill -0 <pid>
is more portable as not every system has /proc these days.

Also make the oprofile stuff Linux specific.
