Can you please provide me a way of checking the XCOPY exit code: reference [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/xcopy.mspx?mfr=true] within Bash?
result codes are stored in $? in bash success = 0 usually, and xcopy seems to follow the norm here. here, i did xcopy somefile somedir echo $? which returned 0 when i tried xcopy nonfile somedir echo $? i get 4 so test for 0 for success. extensions of this idea: xcopy somefile somedir && echo ok xcopy somefile somedir || echo fail -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
