Getting return code for a Python script invoked from a Linux shell script
Hi, folks, I have a Python script that is invoked by a shell script. I uses sys.exit() with a parameter within python. The calling script is using this line to get the return code: exit_code = !$ but it fails to get it. What's wrong here? (I am no Linux guru) Thanks in advance Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

(I am no Linux guru) Thanks in advance Mark Assuming Bash, you'll want $? instead. The '!$' construct is used to pull the last argument of the previous command. Also, if I remember correctly, the history mechanism is disabled within shell scripts. -- Thanks, Jeff mcjeff.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
