If this is too simple (or I should've done a better job
of RTFM) please e-mail responses. I've got a pretty thick
skin
Anyway,
Assume that I have a simple Bourne shell script (called
dumb_script) on machine B which has one line:
exit 3
Immediately after running this, echo $? of course says 3
No problem.
But, now assume that another host machine (say A) uses
rsh B dumb_script
An echo $? after this script always returns a 0 (assuming
that rsh was able to complete properly). I understand
all of this. But what I WANT to do is to have
rsh B dumb_script
have a return error status equal to the return error status
of the program which ran on machine B (that is, 3 in this
case)
Any hints/tips/ideas/pointers to the proper man pages/etc?
