Please look at post #12 in this thread again!
If you have five projects to archive and remove, and the
tar on the first one fails; if you use
exit, your script will exit and there will be absolutely no attempt to
tar,
rsync, and
rm the other four projects. That is why I used
continue instead of
exit. Using
continue, the script I suggested will stop processing the first project (if any step fails) but will then continue processing other projects until all five projects have been processed. When it is done processing all five projects (successfully or unsuccessfully), it will send you one e-mail giving you the status of all five projects (including the normal and diagnostic output produced by each command run in the script for each project). Isn't that what you want to do?
