    "while maintaining any variables before executing it again to continue"? I think you will have to show your script or at least explain what it is doing, in detail. I can't think of very many types of errors that can be fixed while the script is running. Also, using set -e as a way of doing "error handling" is almost always misguided. Explicit tests on the relevant operations makes it easier to catch and handle errors in an intelligent way. Commented Mar 6 at 13:37
  • If you want to do something for error handling, you could check the exit code and do what's necessary like if ! do_something ; then handle_error ; exit 1 ; fi or use trap handle_error ERR like in unix.stackexchange.com/a/39660/330217 Commented Mar 6 at 13:44
