I like the idea. In fact, I would like to have a way to stop execution
of the startup script whenever /any/ of its commands fail, not only
loading databases.

Would be great. But as iocShell commands do not have return values that is hard to achieve. At least without breaking compatibility.

Related: there's been an idea for years to (optionally) replace the iocShell with an embedded Lua engine to get a "real" scripting language onto the IOC. Work waiting to be done...
