@jerry@infosec.exchange @lerg@infosec.exchange also, assuming this is bash or equivalent, these shells tend not to default to set -e if memory serves? Meaning “exit as soon as you get a failed command”: this isn’t the default.

Another flag I discovered recently is set -o pipefail which has the same effect for piped commands, because that isn’t covered by -e for some reason.

So a failed directory creation would let the remainder of the script run, like you said, without extra checks (or these flags)
