Question Need help with trap
My problem is this:

I need to have a catch-all for my processes. An example would be, using a trap, in the parent, to catch any non-0 exit or invalid command (a way to catch core dumps would be cool, too) in not only the parent, but it's children and they're children. Not only that, but I also have to be able to have the same functionalith on anything that the parent or children dot in (functions containted in seperate files). Currently I can only get the trap to operate correctly on one level - parent/child. Also, it doesn't seem like I can create some sort of trap function in a seperate trapfuncs file and have it work. I dot it in and it never sees anything go wrong.

I'd really appreciate any help I could get on this. I'm stuck and can't figure this out for the life of me. I know one of gurus out there must have the answer. P.S. I'm open to any alternatives that don't mean putting blocks of code in every sinlge script and file.

Thanks!
