Hello everyone,


I am using RedHat Shrike 9.0. I am wondering how to debug shell script,
for example, step-by-step debug to watch the outputs of each line of
command.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Normally, on the command line, type "sh -x scriptname"
Alternatively, in the script (line 1) add "set -x" and then run the script
Hope this helps.

Cheers.
