I'd like to add that the easiest way to achieve this is to
add

set -e

at the beginning of the script (assuming it's a Unix shell script).
In this case the script will fail as soon as the first command
pipeline it runs exits with a non-zero exit code.

Actually, I think that a good programming practice is to always start a
shell script with `set -e -u`.
