This is unsafe, because if any command in the pipeline fails, the script will continue nevertheless. For safety, a cylc task job script running in bash will have the ``set -o pipefail`` option turned on automatically. If a pipeline exists in a task's ``script``, etc section, the failure of any part of a pipeline will cause the command to return a non-zero code at the end, which will be reported as a task job failure. Due to the unique nature of a pipeline, the job file will trap the failure of the individual commands, as well as the whole pipeline, and will attempt to report a failure back to the suite twice. The second message is ignored by the suite, and so the behaviour can be safely ignored. (You should probably still investigate the failure, however!) .. only:: builder_html .. include:: ../custom/whitespace_include
