Exit status

I'm preparing for exam and one of exams is to write own test command...

I wonder if in unix is a command which just returns exit code you specify..

I know I can easily write a function like this:

Code:
exStatus() {

  return $1

}
-> my question is rather theoretical

thank you!

Are you expected to do it as a shell script? If so, why? It seems like a pointless task even as a learning experience.

Code:
testing()
{
 test "$@"
 echo $?
}

@cfajohnson: Of course without using test command ;-)

Well, pointless maybe but it's not so easy to do :-) I've already done a half but it took me three hours ;-)

What do you have so far? What else do you need?

Does it have to be a complete replacement for test?

I've got operations: -gt -lt == ( ) -z -n
I'm working on it and I'll post it here tomorrow (It's midnight here) I hope I'll finish the most important things

Well, it doesn't have to be a complete replacement but the more the bette :-) It's a good for exercise...

The standard test doesn't have a '==' operator.

I look forward to seeing it.

Do you have to do it without external commands?

I'm not sure what you exactly mean. I may use whatever command except test - I got the assignment this way.

> I look forward to seeing it.
I don't think you'll be pleased with great source code :-)

>The standard test doesn't have a '==' operator.
You're right it has just '=' operator.

examples:
./test.sh 1 = 2 -a -z " " -o -n " " 2>/dev/null # I'm sending debugging info to stderr
./test.sh '(' 1 -lt 2 ')' -a '(' -z " " -o -n " " ')' 2>/dev/null

Code:

#!/bin/sh   


  # File: test.sh
  
  verbose=2; # TODO

  # for debugging purposes; TODO - delete after finishing
  if [ "$1" == "-x" ]; then
    set -x;
    shift 1
  fi
  
  expr2() { # expr without output
   
    result=$( expr "$@" )
    return $( expr $result "=" 0 )  
  }
  
  usage() {
  
    echo "Usage: "; # TODO   
  }


  process() {
    
    num_stack=0;
    op_stack=0;
