Use "ps" to see if bbkeys is running.

An "exec" starts the program (i.e. blackbox) by replacing the current
process (/bin/sh). So, in other words, bbkeys is never even started!
Place the bbkeys line before the exec line. (Remember that exec stops the
current script from being used, so should be at the last line.)
