Handling Errors and exceptions of commands

pdklinux79 · 06-20-2008, 01:42 PM

I execute a command in bash shell script
eg a server maintenance command:

srmt ... .... ...

how to catch error if this command returns
ERROR:
server_exception(MSG_ERR_RECVFAILED)

i want to be able to catch this error , not print in the console but handle my own way and give an output of my choice

how to do it...

By checking its return-value and mapping it to a string?
echo $?
will give you an idea what the code is ...
