0_README.md

Demonstrating behavior of exit in shell scripts.

The desired behavior is that the script b.sh is run in the middle of a.sh or c.sh. a.sh and c.sh only differ in how they call b.sh.

Running a.sh has the following output:

$ ./a.sh
starting a.sh
starting b.sh

Note that the final line in a.sh is never executed.

Running c.sh has the following output:

$ ./c.sh
starting c.sh
starting b.sh
ending c.sh

Now the final line in c.sh is run.
