How to ignore error in Bash script
Answer:
We have learned in the past on how to show the exit status of a given command.
But is it possible ignore the error and return normal exit code even the command has failed?
Yes, pipe "|| true" to the end of command, e.g.
# foo || true
-bash: foo: command not found
# echo $?
0As you can see even the command foo was not found, our last exit code is still zero.
