There are two ways to "return" something to a shell script. 1) To return a success/fail indication, use sys.exit(n). n==0 means success, n!=0 means fail. 2) To return the end value of an operation or computation to a shell script, you write it to stdout as an ascii string. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
