I'm in the process of designing a bash script to execute a number of functions in a sequence (installing packages, cloning repos, for instance) and after completion send a summary report to an email address to whether the installations succeeded or failed.

An idea that popped into my head was having an associative array and having the first element of a row a function call and the second any error code generated by the function. That way I can just loop through the array to call all the functions.

Is there a better way of doing this so that the script itself is easily modified for adding or removing functions as necessary?

  Without seeing an example implementation of what you're thinking, it's hard to teel if something else may or may not be better. For example, I don't see why you need an associative array here, or how you plan to have a "row" in an array with two elements in it.
