Re: [MLUG] basic Unix pipe/exit code problem

[ryan woodsmall <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Oops - bash can use something like this:

   if [ $? == 0 ] ; then
       ...
   elif [ $? == 1 ] ; then
       ...
   else
      ...
   fi

My bad.  I knew I had done something like this before, but I couldn't 
remember the syntax.  There are about a million ways to do something in 
bash using standard command-line utilities...
