verb_chek

A little script that takes the first argument, usually the name of a script, and write the arguemnt value and the date string. I embed this in other scripts for debuggng. The script only operates if a local named "Verbose.On" is present.


% ls 
dss_bsc5-0747.fits  NE.explain  NE.reg  S/  xycirc.reg

% verb_chek my_script 

% date >Verbose.On 
% ls 
dss_bsc5-0747.fits  NE.explain  NE.reg  S/  Verbose.On  xycirc.reg

% verb_chek my_script 


        I am starting: my_script
Sun Oct  4 13:26:28 CDT 2015

        Enter any key to continue:

You see the reson for having the "Vebose.On" signal file? I want to write a message about the script being run and the time it was run. At the same time, I want the calling script execution to suspend while I inspect the results and I verify where I am at in the run process.
