Thanks.

As this on Production, a unable to set it as verbose or run with "sh -vx".

All i need to know is find the line in the script that is getting executed.

Thanks

You could change it's output to a more verbose mode using

Code:

set -x

and watch the output to your screen or logfile.
Commands that are invoked for a very short time might be already terminated before you get your ps running.
To not get too much output you can use

Code:

set +x

to stop the verbose output.
