It might be a good idea to use set -e in every script to force bash to break on error.

Otherwise even if it encounters an error, bash could continue on as if nothing happened... which is what happened here. That could, in turn, lead to unexpected behavior.

Also, checking for errors could allow the script to handle such errors gracefully, such as by printing user-friendly error messages.
