Wow...just wow. Good catch!

Unfortunately this doesn't work on my system (Slackware 12):
$ test -x `which relaytool` 2> /dev/null > /dev/null
which: no relaytool in
(/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/java/bin:/home/taj/.local/bin)
$ echo $?
0

I think there's 2 problems:
* `which relaytool` 2> dev/null still prints the error if it can't
find relaytool
* `which relaytool 2> /dev/null` shuts it up, but test -x returns 0 if
it doesn't get any args

Any ideas? I'm trying to find another workaround but haven't yet.

I'd say a workaround is fine (if we can make it work :-)).
