Hi:

I simply want the full form of the command lines being executed to output to stdio, not just the output from the commands being execed.

How to do this?

Use either the -v or -x option, depending on what you want.

You can do this by calling the script as an argument to the shell
command:

bash -v scriptname

Or by incorporating it in a shebang as the first line of your
script:

#! /bin/bash -x

Or by using set in your script:

set -v


Thanks!
