Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Problem with (Understanding) function Post 302993156 by RudiC on Tuesday 7th of March 2017 10:11:25 AM

I'm afraid that your "desired solution" can't be achieved in the way indicated in your posts. You need to differentiate between shell functions and shell variables. Confusingly, shells can have variables and functions with the same names. The output
Code:
2017-03-07_11-00-00 --- Test

is the result of expanding the LZ variable (defined elsewhere, NOT in the code snippet) but NOT calling the LZ () function. That also explains why there's no three second time increase. As functions return exit codes only, this mechanism can't be used to supply deliberate results. You need to print results to stdout, as drysdalk proposed, or capture them in a "command substitution" in the callers code.
