How to get the exit code of -exec in the find command

Hi

I have a little problem with the find command in a script that I'm writing. The script should check if there are some files younger than 100 seconds and then syncronise them with rsync.

My find command:


Code:
find -type f -cmin -100 -exec rsync -a --delete directory1/ directory2/

When I check the exit code with $? I always get 0 even if I can be sure the rsync should fail. How can I get the exit code of the rsync and the find?

I allready contacted the man page but it didn't really helped me much.

Quote:
Find man page:
Execute command; true if 0 status is returned.
