Hello,
Apologies for the slightly off-topic listing, but I
know there are several unix command gurus out there. (Bambi?)
Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris 2.7.
I am trying to execute an rsh command against another
unix server; the actual command is
rsh pnas1 chkpntmk oradata ckpt1
if [ $? != 0 ];
Is there a way to check for the success/failure of the actual remote
command when using rsh?
$a=$(rsh blah);
and parse $a for output for an indication of the blah
command succeeding or failing.

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

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

Either:
Look for a success message and change the sense of the test.
Run the remote command in verbose mode.
Wrap the remote command

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 21
then
echo
