Dunno about bash but in zsh it's easy #! /usr/bin/env zsh PS4='+%i:%N:%?> ' exec 2>trace.log set -x # here goes the main script foo=5 bar=$(date) echo foo=$foo, $bar false echo It should work in sh(1) except you'll not see exit values in prompt. Seems like bash doesn't have tcsh-like features: `%?' and printexitvalue. I guess you'll have to write your own wrapper to put `$?' into stderr after each command. > My second question is about history.

If bash has smth like zshaddhistory() it'd be easy... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
