thanks ahamed and rod... both solutions work.. however i got another idea just now...

I am not collecting succesful commands, instead i am collecting only non-zero codes...
so, i f all commands are succesful, $var contains " " or $var contains "127 ".

So, I wrote this to handle, it is working not efficient though, am i right:

my $var contains either var=" 127 255" or var=" "..

Code:
#If one of the commands fail, autocheck script will return 16
if  $var 2>/dev/null ; then
   exit $Success
else
   exit $Error
fi

snnewgroup

snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)					      System Manager's Manual					      snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)

NAME

       snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup

SYNOPSIS

       snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]

DESCRIPTION

       snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an upstream NNTP server of server:port.  If port is not specified, defaults to 119.  If server is
       also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.

       You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.

FILES CREATED

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup
	      Directory where articles will be stored.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
	      Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial
	      Where snget gets its idea of the new starting serial number for newsgroup on server server:port.	The value is initialized to 0.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
	      If server is specified, is a symlink to  /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does  not  already
	      exist.  If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created.  See also snsend.
