I made this a few months ago. Take what you can, it's all yours. Don't know why you ran sed and I broke here back then, so I commented it out. You can merge it with your current stuff, if you want. No obligations, you can dump this also, if it's not of use. It's still a good day :) Actually, you can use debug, error, success etc. from here: https://github.com/spf13/spf13-vim/blob/3.0/bootstrap.sh too, if you want. That's a style I usually follow to get my scripts cleaner. Also why "sh", almost every OS has bash or even zsh.

Why not just use latexmk here?
