[mythtvnz] Total system failure: Any suggestions?

[Jonathan Hoskin]

Maybe put "-ex" into the shebang line?

E.g. #!/bin/dash -ex

From the manual:

e = "exit immediately if any untested command fails"
x = "write each command to standard error (preceded by a '+ ') before it is executed. Useful for debugging"
