[PLUG] Easy Bash Scripting Question


I've written a bash script and I find that the commands don't normally echo to 
the screen, so I can't follow along with the script.

for example:

#!/bin/bash
cp file1 file2
mkdir /directory1
cd /directory1
rm *
cd ..






I'd like to know when the script is copying files, and when it is erasing files.

I could add echo statements, but it would be much simpler if the actual bash 
commands simply echoed to the screen.

Is there a simple way to do this?


TIA JP!
