# the following sets up a bash script to write the -x tracing to a log file
# in /tmp, with a meaningful, unique name, and a trap to remove it if the
# script completes successfully.  Therefore, if the script fails, in any
# way, the log is there to peruse.  If it succeeds (exit 0) then nothing
# is left behind

# Set up a function to remove the trace file on successful run (exit 0)
