Shell Programming and Scripting

I have a script that will run a lint check on all shell and perl scripts that I have in 2 different branches and will report back in a tmp.log file that will show me what works and doesn't.

I am trying to add to it, so that not only will it bring back the log file or errors, but also to improve to give a good/bad result. So that if a script fails it will report back a 1 and tell me there are errors, but if it does have no errors to report a 0 and no errors found.

We probably need to see the script in order to advise on changing it.

# -*- Mode: Bash; tab-width: 2; indent-tabs-mode: nil -*- vim:sta:et:sw=2:ts=2:syntax=sh
