How do I get "rsh" job return code

[Tison]

I submit a job on a remote host and want the return code of the job returned to my local server.
EG.
"rsh host jobname"
"echo $?"
shows me a rc of 0 becuase the rsh command was successfull even if the jobname failed.
How do I get the rc of the jobname ?

Hi Tison,
if 'jobname' is your own program or script you can print
return code and to catch it.
for example 'jobname' a script
.....
RetCode=4
echo $RetCode

On your box
.....
RC=$(rsh host jobname)
if [[ "$RC" = "4" ]]
......
