Thanks for your reply but I am still confused. Looking at:
https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/workflow-durable-task-step/#code-sh-code-shell-script
returnStatus (optional)
Normally, a script which exits with a nonzero status code will cause the step
to fail with an exception. If this option is checked, the return value of the
step will instead be the status code. You may then compare it to zero, for
example.
So if I specify that option I get the status code, but will Jenkins fail the
pipeline if the code is non-zero or do I have to do that myself?
If I don’t specify that option I will get an exception on a failure. Will that
fail the job neatly or will I get an exception trace?

Hi
In a conventional Jenkins job, my understanding is that the job will fail if
the last command of a shell build step indicates an error.
I am now experimenting with pipeline jobs and have something like:
node {
stage('Checkout') {}
sh returnStatus: true, script: '''cd software
make cleanall
make '''
}
I am not sure what is happening here.
1) Will the same rule apply that the job will fail if the last command of
the sh step fails?
2) What is ‘returnStatus: true, script’ doing?
Regd item 2), returnStatus will return the execution completion status of
commands enclosed within "script: "
It can be either 127 (if the command is not found) or 1 for failed valid
command or 0 for valid command that has been executed successfully.
