greycat 1282146799 learn "set -e" attempts to tell bash to abort the script if any command returns non-zero. But it fails. Badly. Subtly. Insidiously. Don't use it. Please. Just don't.

kurahaupo1 1467563402 learn "set -e" is an inheritance of the old bourne shell, and doesn't really work well with modern shell features.
