Bash debugger

This is for all of you hardcore bash scripters that sometimes want better debugging than placing "echo" statements in your scripts.

A co-worker sent this out to our internal sysadmin mail alias today.

It references the bashdb project (bash debugger). I didn't know one existed.

  1. wow, I don't know how I'd feel about writing bash scripts in a sane manner. Part of the appeal is the write-only aspect. ;-)

    Seriously though, that is neat. I'm going to have to check it out. If it's easy to implement, I'll definitely start using it. Thanks for the heads up
