That may not do what you want. The || will cause fvwm to run if
fvwm2 is not found, but will also run fvwm if fvwm2 exits with a
non-zero exit status.
If you know where the fvwm2 program is, another way to test for
its existance is
# or, sh code
if [ -r /the/path/to/fvwm2 ]; then
fvwm2 &
elif [ -r /the/path/to/fvwm ]; then
fvwm &
else
twm &
fi
# csh code
if ( -r /the/path/to/fvwm2 ) then
fvwm2 &
else if ( -r /the/path/to/fvwm ) then
fvwm &
else
twm &
endif
