Common Bash Scripts & Functions

Some common support scripting functions for unix bash scripting that I'm just fed up with rewriting all the time.

Example : (my_script.sh)

#!/bin/bash
source ${HOME}/bin/lib/common.sh

log_error This is an error log level message
log_warn  This is an warn log level message
log_info  This is an info log level message
log_debug This is an debug log level message

log_info "All of these messages are written to logs/{scriptname}_{hostname}_{current date}.log"

fail_on_error "Fail script and exit with 1 if last command failed"

fail "Ok I'm failing and bailing out"

echo "I can never get here!"
