Eric,

Cool, I had used bashdb before, didn't know it could trace..

Anyways, thanks, I'll try it out.

Have you tried the bashdb package?  It takes full advantage of a wide
variety of bash features to make it possible to do single-step
debugging, very much in the style of gdb.

In fact, 'bash --debugger script' exists as a handy way to invoke bashdb
on a particular script, assuming your distro has hooked all the pieces
together.
