Hi, maybe I'm missing something but how to debug a stackscript ? There are only a few informations about stackscripts and it seems I'm missing something here. I tried to deploy a stackscript but it is unclear how to see the flow of the script.
Thank you.

Most stack scripts contain bash functions, if we take http://www.linode.com/stackscripts/view ... criptID=10 for example after the include statement which adds http://www.linode.com/stackscripts/view ... ScriptID=1 into the top of the script, it runs system_update which does the following

function system_update {
   apt-get update
   apt-get -y install aptitude
   aptitude -y full-upgrade
}

I personally like to add

set -e

at the top of my stack scripts to make sure they fail on error. You can copy a stack script and add that to the top if you like.

I'm not sure you got an answer to the original question, which was how to go about debugging a StackScript. I have the same question, but given the age of this message it may require starting a new thread.

EDIT:

I guess you got the best answer. Open the Lish console and rebuild the Linode using the StackScript. You can see the process and get an idea of where it stops.
