Checking return value of commands in pipe
Hi,
I am wondering how I can check the return value of all commands in a pipe such as gzip -dc file.gz | sort -u > output.txt If I run this sequence in bash and check $?, I get the return status from sort. But I want to know if the initial gzip failed. Similarly for longer pipe chains, I want to know if any of the components returned an error status. I don't mind if you give a solution for another shell such as tcsh. Any solution is great! Thanks! |
