Good tip! But I ran the script with sh +x . I guess that running it with sh
You should use "bash -x" ("bash" and not "sh" because sh may not be bash everywhere; eg Ubuntu; "-x" and not "+x" because "-x" means "turn on debug" but "+x" means "turn _off_ debug")
Unless you have specific bashisms (which I don't think the original did, and you should mostly avoid in scripts), sh -x will be fine.
