Basically, I have spent a few hours experimenting and searching on the comp.unix.shell
how to break a command with several switches into more than one line AND to be able to put some comment on each line. #!/bin/bash -xv command \ # comment1 -sw1 \ # comment2 -sw2 \ # comment3 arguments One ought to be able to comment every single switch if desired for whatever reason.
