Hi!
I want to make a shell that contains the launching of another script into
the background so the two scripts run simultaneous. In the first script I
want to pick up the exit value from the subscript? I use ksh for this but
can't get it to work. I've tried something along the following method but
it doesn't do what I want:
test.ksh:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
touch ./test.output
./test2.ksh &
echo $?
test2.ksh:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
sleep 5
return 1
Running test.ksh unfortunately echoes '0' which I had hoped to be '1'. How
do I get it (if possible) to echo '1'?
