throw a generic message upon error
hi all,
in ksh, is there a way to throw a generic error message. i have lots of commands in my script and i didnt want to put
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
doStuff();
else
print "an error occured, please run script again";
fi
around all the commands used. is there a way detect a command has failed and to make it throw the above error message ??
thanks in advance.
