It determines all the commands a shell script is using.
It is useful for error checking in a script, especially
when someone else is trying to run it on another system.
It will immediately tell them if the script is trying
to run commands are access resources that are not
available.
I have a function called Validate
that checks the availability of commands and resources.
Here's a copy of my current script.
It also produces an output file
which can be used with the validate function below.
