Well...the short answer is "you can't do that". In the above example, the return code is lost.
One answer is to write the return code to a file: (myscript.sh; echo $? > /tmp/rc1) &You would need to make sure the temporary file is unique, but this should work. There aren't any elegant solutions, really. |
