rsh does not return the status of the command that it executes so here is what I do in my scripts .... I do a logical or with the result of the command that echos back a known error message. So in the above case if adir does not exist the rsh will echo back failed If it exist the result of ls will be sent back. `rsh hostname ls adir || echo "failed"' Hope it helps
