I believe you might be able to use:

- The "ERR" trap - I'm not sure how to make it return control to the
parent shell though.
- the "DEBUG" trap + extdebug - See the "extdebug" entry under the
description of the "shopt" builtin of the Bash manual. You can use the
exit status of the trap to decide whether a command runs or not.

You might also have to use 'set -T' (functrace) with the above.

Sorry, it's been a long time since I've used these so maybe it works,
maybe it doesn't.
