[SOLVED] Bash Shell Script Exit Codes

metallica1973 · 01-25-2012, 09:55 AM

Here is my daily stupid question:

How can I tell a script to only execute if the other scripts exits successfully?

So "script A" executes and if it executes successfully (0),then "script B" will run

or else

"script A "executes and it exits unsucessfully (1) then "script B" will read return code (1) and will not execute

my_script_A.sh && my_script_B.sh

So a Boolean operator "AND" (&&)

Many thanks

When used in this context, && is a control operator

+1 to that and more specifically a "command list control operator". More info here.
