Gotchas and common issues
Permission checks - verify user access rights and sudo privileges before executing system-level operations.
Environment configuration - double-check path variables and dependency versions to prevent runtime failures.
Backup safeguards - maintain configuration backups before applying system or database modifications.
Following these steps ensures clean configuration and reliable execution for script to find upnp devices / servers in a network.
