Hi, I am using the owshell family of commands, usually from scripts; I 
usually capture the output of the command into a variable:

temperature=$(owread /26.79D891000000/temperature)

sometimes for whatever reason - owread fails, maybe because owserver is 
not up (yet) or similar.

How do I detect the "error" condition? The man page of "owshell" does 
not mention any exit code "strategy". I had a look at the source so it 
seems the exit code is 0 if successful and 1 if error - but is there an 
"official" behaviour?

Basically the question is: how can I use owshell reliably with error 
checking and reporting from a script?

bye
as
