I know it should be streightforward, but I'm not finding the docs anywhere...
How does one go about rescuing a failed shell command? like in the
instance it fails, or the command isn't found?
According to some experiments in IRB, the failed shell command won't
raise an exception; it will leave a non-zero exit code in the $?
special variable. You'll need to check the value of $? and take
action accordingly.
Advi, the problem is I've got a script failing on a "command not
found", and not continuing onward. I see no amount of fiddling that
can help that.

Just tried it... it works fine for me, outputs the "command not found"
message on stderr but keeps right on going... what platform are you
on?
