help with unix commands

[Ole Hansen, ScanConsult]

Paul,

I can't answer your question, but I have a feeling that you wish to test for
existence of af particular file. If my feeling is correct, here is what we
do:

let cmd_str = "ls $HOME/filename" ; change to point to correct file 
run command cmd_str nowarn on error continue
if commandok
 then let fileexists = "1"
 else let fileexists = "0"

... otherwise - sorry for the wasted bandwidth.

Mange hilsner / With kind regards

Ole Hansen

Subject: help with unix commands

quick, on hp unix.

I try to do a <RUN COMMAND "grep 'abc' filexx > /dev/null>

In unix this command exits with a status ($?)  = 0, 1 or 2.

How can I retrieve this status ($?) in my quick screen ?
