Not 'single step' as such -- what you can do is run with '-x' which
prints each line as it is executed. That's either:
sh -x scriptname
or you can add it to the #! line in the script, or just stick 'set -x'
somewhere in the script body.
If you use the 'set -x' form, you can set it up to trace through just
the interesting parts of your code. (Somewhat counter intuitively 'set
- -x' or 'set -o xtrace' turns on trace mode; 'set +x' or 'set +o xtrace'
turns it off)
This doesn't give you a way of arbitrarily querying the value of any
variable, but you will be able to see all variable assignments as part
of the trace.
There's also a '-v' flag which adds displaying input read by the shell
as it executes.
Cheers,
Matthew
