That script seems to depend on the ps command returning nonzero when the
specified process does not exist. This is a nonstandard feature and won't work
in FreeBSD. Try to replace the lines
if
ps -p $PID1 >/dev/null 2>&1
with something like
if kill -0 $PID1 2>/dev/null
which will, by the way, work on any Unix system.
