Bash Exit Codes
The exit code is a number between 0 and 255
• Success – A zero (0) value represents success.
• failure – A non-zero exit-code represents failure.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
listall=$(ls –la)
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo OK
else
echo FAIL
fi
NOTE: $?-- Holds the status of the last pipe close, back-quote string, or system() function.

- 1. Bash Script By Prokopto Platform Team
- 2. sh is a specification, bash is the implementation. (1) sh Strictly speaking, sh (or the Shell Command Language) is a programming language described by the POSIX standard. The key here is that sh isn’t really a programming language in itself. It is just a specification. Specification is a detailed description of the syntax and semantics of that language. Specification doesn’t include an implementation. (2) bash There are different operating systems with their own shells and kernel. Bash is the shell for the GNU operating system. But we can also say that bash is a programming language. sh vs bash
