Yes, I started this script from xterm application on my N950
and over ssh. On both ways it produces an output like:
Acceleration: -4.42 x 0.18 y 13.42 z m/s^2 11.00 ms since last, 87.85 Hz
Acceleration: -2.12 x 1.59 y 6.71 z m/s^2 110.00 ms since last, 9.05 Hz
Acceleration: -2.12 x 1.59 y 6.71 z m/s^2 32.00 ms since last, 31.03 Hz

It only produces an output while the screen is unlocked.
