hi guys! ssh already keyed for passwordless. from shell prompt I can: # ssh host2 the shell in host 2 is spawned and am now at host2's prompt. # run command I want the exit code from what I just ran # exit back at prompt in host1. that's it! cake huh? ok in a script: it stops at the prompt as soon as it spawns the shell in host 2 how to make it continue on in the script? also, since it's virgin territory for me. can I indeed just capture the exit code for a return value that I can pass on to the calling script, or if I decide, just to write the code inside the main script? thx, John Rose -- ...and I woke up 2 days later, in the back yard, talkin to Elvis!
