Yes, The the second echo is expected to fail on trying to add same trigger(mainly same variable name). 
I'll change last "&&" to redirect error/output to /dev/null instead.

No, I don't need to show grep results. Will add -q option and will do so for all the places with similar case.

Will change to same style in creating and removing.

Sure, will add a case trying to add an event with wrong format.
