Writing Robust Bash Shell Scripts

http://www.davidpashley.com/articles/writing-robust-shell-scripts.html

I’ve had this open in my browser for a long time now.  I think it’s one of those tabs that was well aligned with something I was doing at one time, but I have moved on and forgotten what it was that I was working on at that time.  Still, good content.  I often write shell scripts for some quick, one-off deal and never come back to them, but I always try to write them so they fail gracefully and safely if possible.  It doesn’t always work that way with time constraints, but it’s a good goal at least.

Didn’t really need the tab anymore at the moment, just wanted to record it as one of those things to come back to down the road if needed.
