How is it set? => =>EXITCODE=`$SNMPWALK -v 1 -c $COMMUNITY $HOST $STATUS` =>[ $DEBUG -gt 0 ] && echo "Retrieve exit code is $EXITCODE" >> $DEBUGFILE You set the variable EXITCODE to the standard output of the SNMPWALK command. I have no idea what you want to do with the output but to check the exit status you want something like this: $SNMPWALK -v 1 -c $COMMUNITY $HOST $STATUS EXITCODE=$? Also, do not use backquotes when you can use $( cmd ) instead. output=$($SNMPWALK -v 1 -c $COMMUNITY $HOST $STATUS)
