Exit whole script from code block { }

Question

I have the following script:

{
   ...
   many commands and printing
   ...
   if something goes wrong I do exit 1
} 2>&1 | tee test.log

But the problem is that the {} block is exiting and not the whole script.

How can I make the whole script exit?

Add the following line after your tee command:

test ${PIPESTATUS[0]} -eq 0 || exit ${PIPESTATUS[0]}
