Error Checking on UNIX

[Jeff Hoffman]

Hi

I would suggest setting an environment variable, then testing the env var, 
this way you keep the status code and can display it later on. The status 
$? is changed as soon as you issue another command for example the if.
qtp auto=someprogram.qtc
STATUS=$?
if [[ $STATUS != 0 ]]
then
        echo "QTP Error - Program someprogram Aborted - Status $STATUS"
fi
