Getting return code for a Python script invoked from a Linux shell script

2009-09-23 Thread volcano
Hi, folks, I have a Python script that is invoked by a shell script. I uses sys.exit() with a parameter within python. The calling script is using this line to get the return code: exit_code = !$ but it fails to get it. What's wrong here? (I am no Linux guru) Thanks in advance Mark --
