How to ignore errors (like file not found) ? ? ? ?

[czarj]

Hi all,

I have a series of administrative shell scripts that I run to perform a variety of functions (write logs, move files, copy files, execute programs...ect). Currently however, I have a small problem with a few of them not being able to ignore errors.

How do I tell a shell script that if it encounters an error to move on to the next item?

Thanks,

What shell are you using?

Some shells may let you add an option to the hashbang line.

#!/usr/bin/env ksh -i

Be sure you don't have set -e somewhere in your script.
You may also search your script for (b]exit[/b]

Hope This Helps, PH.
