echo "send 191" > /proc/keypad
echo "Done!"

Kill the brackets around the suffix in the args to sleep.
Also, possibly not the right way to do that on a K4, that looks like it was meant for a K2/3. Can't remember how to do that on the K4 OTOH.

Check that your script is properly unix line endings too.
