It doesn't actually. The here document doesn't see the backtick.
Here is something demonstrating the syntax is correct (and your suggestion would break it):
Code:
$ cat a
export a=`cat <<EOF
foo
EOF`
echo a=$a
$ ./a
a=foo


Quote:
Fundamental: Both of these options start a new Shell. Any subsequent commands in the parent Shell script will never execute.
They actually will. Both su and sh will return after executing the passed command.
Quote:
As it stands not much will happen, because the script never sets a value for $CMD_STR.
Yes, the script is missing its first part.

pidof

PIDOF(8)						Linux System Administrator's Manual						  PIDOF(8)

NAME

       pidof -- find the process ID of a running program.

SYNOPSIS

       pidof [-s] [-x] [-o omitpid] [-o omitpid..]  program [program..]

DESCRIPTION

       Pidof  finds  the  process  id's (pids) of the named programs. It prints those id's on the standard output. This program is on some systems
       used in run-level change scripts, especially when the system has a System-V like rc structure. In that case these scripts  are  located	in
       /etc/rc?.d, where ? is the runlevel. If the system has a start-stop-daemon (8) program that should be used instead.

OPTIONS

       -s     Single shot - this instructs the program to only return one pid.

       -x     Scripts too - this causes the program to also return process id's of shells running the named scripts.

       -o     Tells  pidof  to omit processes with that process id. The special pid %PPID can be used to name the parent process of the pidof pro-
	      gram, in other words the calling shell or shell script.

NOTES

       pidof is simply a (symbolic) link to the killall5 program, which should also be located in /sbin.

       When pidof is invoked with a full pathname to the program it should find the pid of, it is reasonably safe. Otherwise it is  possible  that
       it returns pids of running programs that happen to have the same name as the program you're after but are actually other programs.
