Yes. I know I shouldn't be using it for scripting. Yes. It is rubbish. I am indeed a fool.

Nevertheless.

I'd like to see the commands the script is executing, for debugging purposes. I think you get this effect with set -x or set -v in bash scripts.

So e.g., if the script were

#!/bin/tcsh

echo "Hello"

then when it ran, I'd see

echo "Hello"
Hello

Put:

set echo and/or set verbose

at the top of your script. That will print out everything that happens in your script and are equivalent to the bash set -x and set -v commands.
