title: Bash - Exit parent script from child script
body: <p>I have a Bash parent script that on unexpected input calls an error logging  child script that logs the error. I also want the execution to halt when the error occurs and the error script is called. But if I call <code>exit</code> from the error handling script it does not stop the parent script from executing. How may I go about stopping a parent script from a child?</p>
