I don't get why you need ssh -n (-n option). But it won't affect what we are doing.
One easy way to get a status is to echo one. We use OK NOTOK
cool that works. although first i thought you made an error with "st" = "OK" so i tried NOTOK first. i.e if the result of the previous cmd was not ok then report failure. but that didnt work, your line worked. why is that? how am i reading that?
this is how ive implemented it

wait a sec, doesnt quite work well. it still echos the failure text even if the cmd is sucessfull
so in the below both myssh1 and myssh2 were OK (meaning to say they did what they were meant to i.e ls to show the files and mv to archive them)
yet the result was
1. files were archived off
2. output text below
No Order Dump files found on <host>
Nothing to clean up on <host>

Hi there,
I'm very used to use set -e to break my scripts if any command exits with a non-zero status.
As a policy, I'm willingly expecting echo hello | grep a to break the script.
The commands test 1 -eq $1 && echo hello exits with a non-zero status if $1 is not 1. BUT... It doesn't break... (2 Replies)

echo
echo(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands echo(1B)NAME
echo - echo arguments to standard output
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]
DESCRIPTION
echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.
echo is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
ronment variables.
For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:
o echo your current-working-directory's full pathname
o pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters
o pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.
example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"
See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.
The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be invoked if
the user calls echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the black-slashed escape characters, and ksh's
echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.
OPTIONS -n Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
