The command "set -e" in a bash script makes it such that any error quits the shell.
So if you do: set -e cd mydir rm -rf * and "mydir" doesn't exist, the script will stop after "cd mydir". I seem to remember an opinion within Sage that using "set -e" is bad but never heard an argument for this. I think "set -e" is a very useful option. I use it in most of my shell scripts, including the merger scripts and the buildbot scripts. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
