RE: Shell Scripting Commands
 

If you want to check that your script has successfully ran. For this you have to do error handling for each command by displaying echo $?

"?" is a inbuilt variable in Shell Scripting, the value for this is assinged by shell after execution of any command to zero(success) or non-zero(failure).

so check this after each command. If somewhere it throws the unexpected values than do error handling there.
