Create a subroutine to check $? after each command.

If I have a script with does a number of things like tars, copy commands,
etc. What is the best way to generate a flag if a SINGLE command in the
script fails? In other words, if I'm thinking about this correctly, I want
to get a page when the script is finished, and one command didn't finish
correctly, even if some of the commands have succeeded. Thanks!
