exit with error message in bash (oneline)

bash, exit, message

Solution

`exit` doesn't take more than one argument. To print any message like you want, you can use `echo` and then exit.

    [[ $TRESHOLD =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]] || \
     { echo "Threshold must be an integer value!"; exit $ERRCODE; }

Problem

Is it possible to exit on error, with a message, without using if statements? ``` [[ $TRESHOLD =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]] || exit ERRCODE "Threshold must be an integer value!" ``` Of course the right side of `||` won't work, just to give you better idea of what I am trying to accomplish. Actually, I don't even mind with which ERR code it's gonna exit, just to show the message. EDIT I know this will work, but how to suppress `numeric arg required` showing after my custom message? ``` [[ $TRESHOLD =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]] || exit "Threshold must be an integer value!" ```
