It's possible to *register* applications with a shell script (the 
LaunchServices framework has a tool called lsregister), but I just 
checked and the only way to query it is to do something like 
`lsregister -dump | grep OmniOutliner\ Professional'. First off, the 
-dump dumps *everything* in the LaunchServices database, and secondly, 
I believe that if OmniOutliner Professional is deleted, it will still 
exist in the LaunchServices database for at least a while.

Why not just check the return code of `open', and if it's non-zero (it 
returns 1 when it can't find the specified app), strip the 
"Professional" and try again.
