Test $?, or key in a command name you know isn't on your system and
after command not found returns type echo $? then hit enter. You'll get
the error code back that way.

Stumbled on this one today thanks to @climagic on Twitter. If you
want to have your machine give you one tone if the previous command
succeeded (had an exit-status of 0) and a different tone if the
previous command failed (had a non-zero exit status), you can put the
following one-liner in your .bashrc file:
PROMPT_COMMAND='[ "$?" == 0 ] && play -qn synth sin F3 trim 0 0 0.1
fade 0 0.1 0.05 vol 0.2 || play -qn synth square F4 trim 0 0.1 fade 0
0.1 0.05'
Do any of you know of a way to get a number as the first cell(s)
in the prompt indicating the error code of the previous command? E.g.
1[user@host ~]#
if something gets wrong? If zero, I'd like to get no number output.
I think that could be convenient when using braille.
Thanks and regards, Lars
