Calling a script with the use of the "dot-space" notation causes the script to be sourced in the current environment, that is, all the variables contained in the script will be available for use outside (in the for loop).
You can obtain the same effect with the bash "source" command builtin (have a look at bash man page). According to that, the return status will be the status returned by the last executed command in the script, so your code should be ok.
Maybe you're not using bash, other shells could possibly behave differently (I don't know).
Anyway, I don't see the need for you to call the script in that way, simply modify your "execute_another_script.sh" script, let it read the $1 variable from the command line and pass directly the "filename" value to the script in the for loop:
I have the below script I am running on a Solaris system to check the status of a Tivoli Workload Scheduler job and return the status. We need this script to return a '0' if any of the jobs in the stream are in a "EXEC" state and an "1" if in a "HOLD" state. I am not a programmer so I am not sure... (1 Reply)
Suppose I have a script which is monitoring a directory
whenever a file drops in that directory,it sends alert

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there are return codes for SFTP? If so how would you capture them? I've tried 'man sftp' but its not particularly helpful.
Many thanks

Can any body please tell me the return codes of RDIST tool?
I am using RDIST (through an UNIX script) to synchronize files between two servers say ukblx151(source) & ukapx050(target).
RDIST raises an alert mail (through notify option) in case of success & also failure but there is a problem if... (0 Replies)

Hi,
I wanted to know the significance of different return codes when we do echo $?
I know when $? returns 0 the command has worked successfully.
but what does $? = 1, 2, 3 etc. signify.
Thanks in advance for the help !!! (3 Replies)
Having searched high and low through Oracles documentation, I came to think that they're very scripting-averse, as there's (apparently) no list of possible return/exit codes for their various command line utilities.
Is anyone here in possession of such a list, or knows where to find one? It... (16 Replies)
Not sure if this is of any use but......
I was messing around with getting return codes greater than 255 for special usage...
Of course the code could be made simple but in this code the new stored return code

ras-mc-ctl
RAS-MC-CTL(8) RAS memory controller admin utility RAS-MC-CTL(8)NAME
ras-mc-ctl - RAS memory controller admin utility
SYNOPSIS
ras-mc-ctl [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
The ras-mc-ctl program is a perl(1) script which performs some useful RAS administration tasks on EDAC (Error Detection and Correction)
drivers.
OPTIONS --help Display a brief usage message.
--mainboard
Print mainboard vendor and model for this hardware, if available. The method used by ras-mc-ctl to obtain the mainboard vendor and
model information for the current system is described below in the MAINBOARD CONFIGURATION section.
--status
Print the status of EDAC drivers (loaded or unloaded).
--quiet
Be less verbose when executing an operation.
--register-labels
Register motherboard DIMM labels into EDAC driver sysfs files. This option uses the detected mainboard manufacturer and model num-
ber in combination with a "labels database" found in any of the files under /etc/ras/dimm_labels.d/* or in the labels.db file at
/etc/ras/dimm_labels.db. An entry for the current hardware must exist in the labels database for this option to do anything.
--print-labels
Display the configured labels for the current hardware, as well as the current labels registered with EDAC.
--guess-labels
Print DMI labels, when bank locator is available at the DMI table. It helps to fill the labels database at /etc/ras/dimm_labels.d/.
--labeldb=DB
Specify an alternate location for the labels database.
--delay=time
Specify a delay of ime seconds before registering dimm labels. Only meaninful if used together with --register-labels.
--layout
Prints the memory layout as detected by the EDAC driver. Useful to check if the EDAC driver is properly detecting the memory con-
troller architecture.
MAINBOARD CONFIGURATION
The ras-mc-ctl script uses the following method to determine the current system's mainboard vendor and model information:
1. If the config file /etc/edac/mainboard exists, then it is parsed by ras-mc-ctl. The mainboard config file has the following simple syn-
tax:
vendor = <mainboard vendor string>
model = <mainboard model string>
script = <script to gather mainboard information>
Where anything after a '#' character on a line is considered a comment. If the keyword script is specified, then that script or exe-
cutable is run by ras-mc-ctl to gather the mainboard vendor and model information. The script should write the resulting information on
stdout in the same format as the mainboard config file.
2. If no mainboard config file exists, then ras-mc-ctl will attempt to read DMI information from the sysfs files
/sys/class/dmi/id/board_vendor
/sys/class/dmi/id/board_name
3. If the sysfs files above do not exist, then ras-mc-ctl will fall back to parsing output of the dmidecode(8) utility. Use of this util-
ity will most often require that ras-mc-ctl be run as root.
