echo command as in windows

Or, within the script, on the second line do:

	set -x

This is useful if the script you are trying to debug is called from another
script.  Also, you don't care which shell you are running.

I use this to do debugging a lot.  But the error you get might be extremely
misleading.  If you have a missing/misplaced double-quote (or any of
the quotes), the error it complains about could be many lines away from the
actual location.
