[aklug] bash die

Say you have a bash script where if any command fails, the scripts
should stop. What would be the sensible way to deal with that?

I was thinking, write some kind of die function, and then for each command:

command_1 || die("command_1 failed")
mount /this/file || die("failed to mount important filesystem")
...

Or is there some better way to do this?
