checking exit status of a shell script

kdipankar · #1 (**permalink**) 05-08-2006

Hi,
I have tried with the following code;

if [ ./test.ksh ];then
echo "Failure."
else
echo "Success."
fi

to test the exit status of the test.ksh shell script. But whatever is the exit status of the test.ksh shell script Failure. is always printed.

Please help.
regards,
Dipankar.
