I think that I'm restoring the brightness settings too quickly after restarting MCE since the last 4 commands in the following script aren't taking.

How can I pause it for a moment so this doesn't happened?

I've tried this but I'm getting a "/usr/bin/on: line 5: wait: pid 4 is not a child of this shell" error.
