I do it all the time with a line like this :
rsh $1 ". ${vTARGETPROFILE};mkdir $2;echo \$?"
In this case, I am making a directory called $2 at host $1. The unix
command sets the error value so when you can now get that value over on the
calling machine.
You could also do it like this:
rsh ${vTARGETHOST} ". ${vTARGETPROFILE};echo \${ORACLE_BASE" | read
vTARGETORABASE
In this case, I am getting the value of ORACLE_BASE at the remote host
vTARGETHOST and reading it into the variable vTARGETORABASE.

But what if command blah does not output anything? In this
case, $a is null, as it is when the command fails.

$a=$(rsh blah);
and parse $a for output for an indication of the blah
command succeeding or failing.
