You were supposed to do "$?"
"$?" contains the status of the last executed command on the shell.
Usually the status is 0 if the command was successful, -1(or 1) if it Fails. 
In the case of grep, it might even be 2, if the command succeedded but there 
was some other issue. And this is what I doubted since there was a "invalid max 
count" error.

Thanks,
