Full Discussion: Pass back return code for file delete failure

you need to redirect the error from /bin/rm -f $path/$filen to a log file ...

also, you should get in the habit of indenting your code blocks to make your scripts easier to debug and remove the extraneous "#" in your comments as well as get in the habit of using the shebang line (i.e., #! /bin/bash) ....
Code:
#! /bin/bash
echo "Running:" $0

# Check to see if the correct number of parameters are entered. 
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
    echo "$0, did not get 2 arguments - ABORTING!" 
    echo "Please enter the path name in PARAM1 as dir/dir/dir"
    echo "and enter the file name in PARAM2 as nameXXX"
    exit 1
fi
echo "Path:" $1
echo "File:" $2
sleep 60
path=$1 
filen=$2

/bin/rm -f $path/$filen 2> /tmp/errlog
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
    echo "The script failed to remove the file" 
    exit 2
else
    echo "The file was successfully deleted" 
fi
　
echo 'End of Script'

exit 0
