returned from remote command

UNIX HP-UX

Hi, there,
I want to excute the remote command shell via "remsh", are there any simple or best way to get the result of remote shell from local ? thanks.

ret_value=`rsh host "command1 ; command2 ; echo $?"`

chaining works too:

retval=`rsh hostname "command1 && echo "OK1"  && command2 && echo "OK"`
  • tells you which command failed;
    plus it stops if command1 fails and doesn't do command2 which can be good sometimes
