Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Invoking shell script from shell script Post 11332 by rdmalik on Monday 3rd of December 2001 01:22:53 PM

Question

I am not just checking for if the script ran or not. If I need to check the return code from the invoked program. Is this how I would do it ?


Have an exit code code specified for each action in the called program and then when I call it and check $? for the error code ?

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks
Roshan
