Bash scripts can use various options on the shebang (#!/bin/bash). A more common one is: ‘#!/bin/bash -ex’. -e Exit immediately if a command exits with a non-zero status. -x Print commands and their arguments as they are executed. In short, adding -ex to your #!/bin/bash will give verbose output and also will abort your script immediately if part of the script fails.
