## Exit traps
Make your bash scripts more robust by reliably performing cleanup.
```bash
function finish {
# your cleanup here. e.g. kill any forked processes
jobs -p | xargs kill
}
trap finish EXIT
```
# 4. Debugging
You can easily debug the bash script by passing different options to `bash` command. For example `-n` will not run commands and check for syntax errors only. `-v` echo commands before running them. `-x` echo commands after command-line processing.
