I am writing a shell script which would run commands on the remote
shell (rsh -l login_name command). I need to write further code based
on the exit status of the command that is run on the remote shell. My
'rsh' command always returns '0' as the exit status, which I don't
need. Can anyone suggest me as to how I can find the exit status of a
command run on the remote shell?
Thanks in advance.

one way you can do it is to output the exit status and captureQuote:>Hai Everyone,

rsh -K hostname sh -c 'false; echo $?' |read status
echo return status is $status

status=`rsh -K hostname sh -c 'false; echo $?' `
echo return status is $status
the original version I posted (and didn't test, and
didn't even _think_ <g>) won't work because '|read status'
is executed in a sub-shell.

1. exit status from remote shell to local shell
I'm trying to write a shell script that will run a command on one
of our remote servers and return the exit status of that command
back to the oringinating server. I'm using rsh to do remote
execution of the command on the other server, but I cannot figure
out how to get the exit status of the command back to my local
shell. Here is an example of what I've tried:
(rsh ibm-sales proutil -C BUSY;retval=$?;export $retval)
Any ideas of how I can do this???
