[SunHELP] script help test on return value $?

[Simon Jespersen]

I need a little script help
I want to test on the return value from another program
#!/bin/ksh
#Running getstate.pl
getstate.pl

echo $? #the output is 1 but how do i test on this. I have programmet the
perl scritp so i returns 0 if outcome is diffrent than inspected and it
works.


if [ $? -eq 1 ] ; then    /this doesnt seem to work
    echo do something
fi
