#!/bin/sh -e

Hi all!
Anybody have an idea of usage "#!/bin/sh -e" reason in /etc/init.d/openvpn script? I mean key -e

man sh wrote -e errexit
If not interactive, exit immediately if any untested command fails. The exit status of a command is consid‐
ered to be explicitly tested if the command is used to control an if, elif, while, or until; or if the command
is the left hand operand of an “&&” or “||” operator.
