You can also try putting the command:
set -x
at the top of the script that you want to trace. I believe though that if
the script calls any functions then once in the function, it will not trace
any more. So you'd have to add the set -x line to the top of each function
as well. Also screen clearing effects the trace too.
I'm not an expert in Bash, but this works in the Bourn and Korn shells.
Hope this helps! =:-)

In the old days of the bourne shell (rather than bourne again shell) you
could
execute scripts with "sh -x" and it would show you the commands and
arguments
as it executed them. I don't know if this still exists in bash.
I don't know if sh comes with SuSE, on red hat it is just a link to
bash.
