I'm stuck trying to work this one out and my Google skills are
apparently lacking today.
This is a test bash script;
#!/bin/bash
do something | tee a.log
if [ $? -ne 0]; then
echo broken
fi
The problem with this script is $? contains the exit value of the tee
command, but I want to check the exit value of whatever command I put
in place of 'do something'.
How can I achieve this without loosing the tee operation, as 'do
something' maybe a long running command with a lot of output like
rsync?
I don't want to;
result=`do something`
if [ $? -ne 0...
....
fi
echo $result
As that won't output anything until the script has finished (the
reason for the tee is that this script will be a scheduled cron tab
but it may be run interactively sometimes also).
Thanks for reading :)
