Hello,

Apologies for the slightly off-topic listing, but I know there are several unix command gurus out there. (Bambi?)

Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris 2.7.

I am trying to execute an "rsh" command against another unix server; the actual command is

rsh pnas1 chkpntmk oradata ckpt1

if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then...

pnas1 is name of other server; chkpntmk is command, rest are args.

As you can see, I am checking the $? parameter to test for success/failure of the command. However, I think this is the return code for the rsh command, not the chkptmk command which is executed on the other server. When the chkpnt command fails, I still receive a "0" indicating success, because rsh executed OK.

Is there a way to check for the success/failure of the actual remote command when using rsh?

Thnaks to any responders.
