I'm sure this should be an easy question, but from the ssh client manpage: EXIT STATUS ssh exits with the exit status of the remote command or with 255 if an error occurred. Let's say I'm using ssh server.example.com /usr/bin/do/something in (e.g.) a bash script. How can one differentiate between a failure of ssh to connect to the host and the command in question returning an error? I need to detect both, and differentiate between them. -- Alex Bligh _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
