MySQL Status code of last command execution
Hello people,

I am using KSH and inside my script I do a cksum and check the status code to see whether the command sucessfully. Here even though the cksum fails due to file not existing the status returned is still 0 because the awk command worked fine. How do I capture just the status of the cksum command execution without breaking the below listed code into multiple lines. Please let me know.

/usr/bin/cksum $cksum_tmpdir/$EXTFILE | awk '{print $1 $2}' > $cksumb
echo $?

Regards,
Tipsy.
