my template for the slackbuilds make (perhaps in abundance) use of "|| exit 1"
to give an example 
cd $TMP || exit 1
tar -xzvf $CWD/$NAME-$VERSION.tar.gz || exit 1
cd $NAME-$VERSION || exit 1
chown -R root:root $TMP/$NAME-$VERSION || exit 1

This will stop the script if anything goes wrong other than what I want it to
