SUMMARY: I want to get the UNIX rc for the lp print
command
OS: UNIX System V, SunOS 5.5, -csh
....
Now, I want the value of the exit command associated with this
event.
In some flavors of UNIX I understand the command "echo $?"
will
display the value of the exit command. Does anybody know
what the
command might be in the UNIX OS I am using?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"echo $?" should work for most unixen. It won't work if you aren't
using the Bourne shell or another compatible shell. If you are
using the C-shell, try: "echo $status"
