proper way to detect shell exit code when errexit option set

Question

I prefer to write solid shell code, so the errexit & nounset is alway set.

The following code will stop at bad_command line

#!/bin/b         


        

Answer 1

what if you want to know exit status of bad_command?

I think the simplest way is to disable errexit:

#!/bin/sh
set -o errexit

some_code_here

set +o errexit
bad_command
status=$?
set -o errexit
process $status
