Haven't used rsh in many many moons (ssh is the correct way these daze),
and I have no way to test this but maybe it will work.
RTN=$(rsh otherbox "mycmd parm1 parm2 ; [ ${?} -eq 0 ] && echo OKAY || echo
FAILED")
if echo ${RTN} | grep OKAY 1>/dev/null 2>&1
then
echo GOOD
else
echo BAD
fi
Another option for the first line might be:
RTN=$(rsh otherbox "if mycmd parm1 parm2
then
echo OKAY
else
echo FAILED
fi
)
And even another option for the first line is:
RTN=$(rsh otherbox "[ mycmd parm1 parm2 ] && echo OKAY || echo FAILED")
If you give my the ip address, the username, and add "+" to your .rhosts
file I would be happy to try it out...lol

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
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.
