Hi,

I have been doing some scripting lately and have ran into an issue
which some of you might help me to solve.

I have the following script:

cat << EOF
#!/bin/bash -e

. $(dirname $0)/000_shared

rm -rf binutils-${BINUTILS_VER} binutils-build 
${LOGDIR}/binutils-pass1-${BINUTILS_VER}.log

tar xf ${SROOT}/binutils-${BINUTILS_VER}.tar.bz2

{

  time {
  mkdir -v binutils-build2
  pushd binutils-build
    ../binutils-${BINUTILS_VER}/configure \
        --prefix=/tools     \
        --with-sysroot=$LFS \
        --target=$LFS_TGT   \
        --disable-nls       \
        --disable-werror    \
        --enable-multilib   \
        --with-lib-path=/tools/lib32:/tools/lib
    make
    make install
    mkdir -v /tools/lib
    ln -sv lib /tools/lib64
  popd
  }

} 2>&1 | tee ${LOGDIR}/binutils-pass1-${BINUTILS_VER}.log

rm -rf binutils-${BINUTILS_VER} binutils-build
EOF

As you can see, bash is invoked with -e parameter, which means
the script will exit on any error.

But, given that I start a kind of a subshell to log the output
of the time builtin, when any of the commands in the time
block exit with an error, the script will just shift itself
after the } 2>&1 .. block, resulting in the rm -rf command
being run even if the, eg, make or make install failed.

So my question is: How to make the script stop completely
when the error happens in the time {} block and not run the
rm -rf commands (and the next script, as the script is invoked
from a bootstrap script which also uses -e).

Or, is there a better way to log the output of the both time
and cmmi commands that doesn't require this kind of a subshell?

Thanks in advance.
