[Bashburn-info] A few quick notes on debugging techniques.

[Steven W. O. <st...@sy...>]

Just a few ideas to pass along:

* In your .bash_profile

export PS4='+${0##*/} line $LINENO: '

* We clear the screen a lot so it's easy to not see error messages from 
syntax problems, etc...

* Run the script program and then run bashburn. Then exit from script and 
you can look at the typescript file afterwards. You might have to run 
dos2unix on the file.

* Bracket the code you need to debug with

set -x
stuff
set+x

so you can see what's happening.



BTW, I've gotten a few tips on how to make life easier with svn. If people 
have more tips I'd love to hear them.
