RSH issue...trigged from mainframe on UNIX
I'm invoking RSH from mainframe to trigger a shell script on unix. The Unix shell script return code is not realized back by RSH in mainframe. Even if the script finishes 'exit -1', still RSH gets RC 00 in mainframe.

I want 'exit -1' to be read as RSH failure RC and 'exit 0' as RSH RC 00 respectively. I want the subsequent mainframe steps to be flushed out if RSH returns failure RC.

How to achieve this? Any advice unix kings??

Exit codes are always unsigned numbers, maybe that is the problem? Try exit 1 instead.
