   whats some good practices for a bash script in a professional environment?
   
   i think i have the functional stuff done and while it runs (takes a while) im thinking how to make it better.
   
   longterm it is supposed to run unattended

     well it's possible it's just painful
     
     set -eu
     
     make sure you trap signals and work around bash bugs like this:
     
     trap "trap - SIGTERM && kill -- -$$" SIGINT SIGTERM EXIT
     
     drink your ovaltine and try not to cry yourself to sleep too much
