Really hoping I can get this working, as it would fix a huge headache of mine! I'm having an issue getting it to work. Might be because I'm new to bash and not familiar with usage but
$MAPWACOM --help returns bash: --help: command not found
$MAPWACOM alone gives no output and returns to the prompt
This is happening with everything in the [OPTIONS] set. I have 'mapwacom.sh' installed in /usr/local/bin which is part of my $PATH and it is marked as executable. Please advise - this would fix my only issue with my twin monitor setup, so I'd love to have it working!

@amiaship: Have you tried running the script like this?

mapwacom.sh --help
