A $ is missing here.

I've written a wrapper script that opens the link in a new tab if ELinks 
is running, and otherwise launches ELinks in a new terminal window (here 
roxterm with a specific profile for ELinks) if X is running, or in the 
console if not.

	#!/bin/sh

	if elinks -remote ping\(\) 2>/dev/null; then
	    exec elinks -remote ${1:-about:blank}
	elif [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
	    exec roxterm -p ELinks -e elinks $1
	else
	    elinks $1
	fi

	exit 0

I've put this in the file ~/bin/relinks and set the $BROWSER environment 
variable to relinks (export BROWSER="relinks" in ~/.bash_profile or 
~/.profile), so sensible-browser uses relinks to open URLs.
