Re-learning to program - Fixing my broken brain

Holy shit. I was able to complete my largest and most complex shell script to date, autotest.sh. It was a nearly total rewrite of a series of scripts that act as an automated testing environment.

That sounds fancy, but it's not. The basic idea is that as you edit, you save a lot. Well, I do. Now every time I save, the change is noticed and the script is run automatically. It even goes one step further, doing some debugging if your script fails to run.

Make a script learn what shell it's running in

I've been doing some work on a scripting test environment which would automatically run a test suite while I'm editing, triggered when I save.

I've already completed a rather complex version of it.. well I've completed three versions of it.

I want to merge all this effort into one mega-script which can be easily adapted to any scripting/programming language. Therein lies the problem. There are some tricks which I want to invoke in a bash and zsh environment in order to do some extra debugging.
