Actually that is correct. The reason you use "grep -i -n1 -q disabled $BLUETOOTH" is that if you
cat you get:
root@thinkpad:/home/jerone# cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
status: disabled
commands: enable, disable

The first line will allways be the status. But the 2nd line is the commands. We only want to see the first line.

Also havig FN+F5 toggle both bluetooh & wireless is extremely confusing to users as there is an rf_kill switch if you want to kill it.

Now under Windows FN+F5 calls up a program that you then choose if you want to enable/disable bluetooth.

Most perfer FN+F5 just be for bluetooth. There is another bugzilla with people who have the same feelings:
