Bash ignoring error for a particular command?

Question

I am using following options set -o pipefail set -e In bash script to stop execution on error. I have 100 of script executing and I don't want to check return code of the script. But for a particular script I want to ignore the error. How can I do that ?

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're trying to do, but it sounds like you're

executing some number of custom scripts that you have control over - you own them, correct?

If you do, then have the one "don't care about outcome" script exit with a "0" status value.

So assuming that the script doesn't conditionally exit anywhere else, have the last

line of that script be the following:

## exit with success unconditionally

exit 0 ## <<<<----------
