Unfortunately, this breaks the scripts.

The function proc_cmd are designed to grep after "Result: OK:" which
might fail, and your patch/change makes the script stop immediately.
We actually want to continue, and output what command that failed (and
also grep again after "Result:" to provide the kernel reason).

Even if you somehow "fix" function proc_cmd, then we in general want to
catch different error situations by looking at status $?, and output
meaning full errors via calling err() function.  IHMO as minimum with
errexit you need a 'trap' function that can help/inform the user of
what went wrong.
