The more important part is about not accounting for an empty list of pids
stored in variable OMITPIDS.

The other thing is about some inconsistancy in testing files with '-e' and
'-f', instead of, IMO, more correct '-r'.

One less important issue is about replacing a:

	for seq in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do

loop with a:

	while [ $seq -lt $max_seq ]; do

which is, IMO, a cleaner way to do the same.

Last, but not least, various cleanups:

* whitespace damage
* useless quotes
* repeated use of hardcoded path/name to one and the same app: initctl.


Cheers,
