Try the -x flag to bash - it's quite useful. Strace is also good, if you
don't mind sifting through a lot of information.
$ bash -x myscript.sh

$ strace myscript.sh | less

The above advice is based on the assumption you mean the sh/csh/tcsh/bash
shells. My personal choice is to use perl. If perl scripts need debugging,
the perl debugger (built into the perl interpreter) works great. Of course,
if all your stars are aligned and you're blessed with both perl & emacs on
your system, the emacs interface to the perl debugger is the best possible
solution.
Amen.
