I'm not sure why the run-and-check.sh script needs to be so complicated.

Nor me. But I did a lot of experimentation to get it to work. I think all the extra redirection and the exec stuff is required because you're running a command inside a shell script, and so simply trying:

command 2>&1

doesn't work.  There's lots of stuff on the net about needing to use exec.

If you don't use eval, the shell tries to run the first "command" it sees, which is "DEPTH=$(depth)/../" and this fails as a command. So the way round that was to use eval.

As you know, I'm no unix script expert. But I'd be surprised if there was a simpler way to actually make this work.
