[vox-tech] Bash question

[MB]

If I understand you right, you want an exit code from your script.  And 
then read that code.

That is done like this:

------------- /opt/myapp/bin/config -------------------
#!/bin/sh

# check stuff here...

# set env vars here...
export MYVAR="/path/to/executable"


if [ test ]; then
    exit 1
fi

if [ test2 ]; then
    exit 2
fi

exit 0

---------------------------

You should then be able to run in .bachrc

. /opt/myapp/bin/config

echo $?     ## to find out the exit code
echo $MYVAR    ## should return /path/to/executable


Am I misunderstanding the question?
