bash: Execute a specific script and stop at the first [e]rror.

bash

$ bash -e ${path-to-script-sh}

try on your machine

This command is used to execute a Bash script with the enabled -e option flag. Here is the breakdown:

bash: This is the command to invoke the Bash shell.
-e: This option, also known as set -e, stands for "errexit". It causes the shell to exit immediately if any unhandled error or non-zero exit status occurs.
${path-to-script-sh}: This is the placeholder for the actual path to the Bash script file (usually with a .sh extension). You need to replace ${path-to-script-sh} with the specific path in your command.

When you run this command, it will execute the specified Bash script using the Bash shell and terminate the script immediately if any error occurs or any command within the script returns a non-zero exit status.
