- I've been writing Unix scripts for a little bit now. Whenever I have
- trouble with one I always end up inserting a bunch of "echo" statements
- into it to try to figure out what's wrong with it, and this has always
- solved the problem for me eventually.
-
- My question is whether I'm wasting time with this farely brute force
- method. Does anyone know of a Unix script debugger to solve the problem
- without editing the script? Or even an automated editor that inserts
- "echo" statements? Any information on this would be helpful.
