that worked, thanks. Do you you know if this lists the options that are settable by both set and shopt?

@user4668401 No, set is far more extensive: see the man page entry.

And to check if a single option is on: shopt <option>

checking with shopt <shoptoption> only works with shopt shell options, e.g. it works for shopt nullglob, as nullglob is a shopt shell option. However shopt pipefail fails, because pipefail is a set shell option. To check a set shell option using the shopt command, use shopt -o <setoption>; e.g. shopt -o pipefail works.
