killall isn't universally available.  For example, it's a 
superuser-only toy on Solaris, and works in a significantly different 
way than on other OSes (it kills all processes. _all_ of them. right 
now.)  Also, killall wasn't around when I wrote the original form of 
this script for my own personal use, about 14 years ago. (:

killall will work for most, though, if you add a "nohup xasitr&" 
afterward to do the restart.

At least until the PID file details get worked out, and someone puts an 
"xastir-restart" script in the distribution. (:
