Hi All,

We have 2 unix boxes HP UX. From Box1 we need to run a script on Box2 using remsh. The job at Box2 exits with status 0 on successful completion & 1 if fails.

But even if the scrips fails (exits with return status 1) at Box2, the $? get the value 0.

script at Box2 : remote_script.sh

#! /bin/sh
exit 1

script at Box1: local_script.sh

remsh Box2 /path_on_Box2/remote_script.sh
echo $?


while running the script local_script.sh at Box1 we are getting the o/p = 0


How do we get the return status of the remote shell on Box1 ?
Please help.

Thanks
