⬅︎ Back to How to intercept and react to non-zero exits in bash
What if you have many things you want to do, if it failed. Not just 1 single `echo`. Yes, you could use brackets but it'll get a bit messy. And the remit is to intercept failure, do something with that fact, but still exit with the same exit code as the original script.
`./script/update-internal-links.js --check || echo "Extra message here informing that the script failed"` Is more concise imo. If the initial return value isn’t 0, the script will echo your message, which will have an exit value of 0.
