I'd like to add that the easiest way to achieve this is to add set -e at the beginning of the script (assuming it's a Unix shell script). In this case the script will fail as soon as the first command pipeline it runs exits with a non-zero exit code. Actually, I think that a good programming practice is to always start a shell script with `set -e -u`. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
