By the way, it looks to me that the shell interpreter you invoke here...
#!/bin/sh
...is not bash, but probably dash. Is it your intent to call bash instead?
xterm input=""
I ask about your intent above because this next line...
until [[ $input != "" ]] ; do
...employs the new-fangled Korn shell/Bash conditional test '[[', instead of the old-fangled test builtin '['. During a brief search of the dash man page, I didn't find any mention of '[['. Just '['.
