The above example does what I need it to do. If the DNS name is invalid, it returns 255. If the username is invalid, it returns some other number. If the folder path is wrong, it returns yet another different number. If everything is correct, it returns 0. That's all I need it to do. If the return code is 0, then I proceed with running the "real" command that returns me file count in that folder. So, everything is working as I need it to. Thanks!
