Hi:
  I;m working on getting saned and scanbd working together right now and
  need to switch between two different working configurations quickly and
  consistently.

  Here is the script file that I use for saned and tools (i.e. simple-scan),
  I run this as:

     sudo sh -x saned-devel-saned

  Hope this helps
