Bash functions are better than I thought

I agree with you that it seems readable, nice job on it. But there is comment there that says

Oh man this is so ugly

Not something I would expect in an "elegant" script. Don't think that it is your fault, just it is very hard to write anything elegant in bash.

Ah yes, that section.

Hahaha -- fair point. Readable: maybe. Elegant? No. Bash is far from elegant =P

I would add a variable ENDPOINT, initialised to "" and set to " --endpoint $THEENDPOINTVALUE" if the endpoint value was passed. Then include that in every invocation?

Sorry if I missed something in the logic, reading on my phone, but from the comment, this feels like something I do frequently...
