Question Status of the second to last command
Below is a chuck of a shell script I have written. The problem I am having is with the test section. I want to test the status of the f60gen command but since I'm running the output of the f60gen command into tee, the test command is actually testing "tee" and not "f60gen". Is there a way to test the second to last command? If not, how can I make this work?

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/f60gen module=$PLL_FILE \
userid=apps/$APPS_PWD \
output_file=$PLX_FILE \
module_type=library \
batch=yes \
compile_all=special | tee -a $LOG_FILE 2>&1

if [ $? = 0 ]; then
log_msg "Successfully generated $PLX_FILE"
