Not quite clear.
Which command's exit code do you want to capture? $? is the last cmd's exit code and should always be 0 in above.
Where (and how) do you want to store whatever result you mean?
Why do you redirect stdout and stderr to /dev/null if you want some result?
Why do you use eval in above?
