if [ sqlplus -s /nolog != 0]; then
   echo error occured
fi


<div>
what ahoffmann mean is:<br />
<br />
sqlplus -s /nolog <br />
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then<br />
&nbsp; echo error occured<br />
fi<br />
# $? is the return value of your last command<br />
<br />
you can do something like the following:<br />
<br />
if sqlplus -s /nolog ; then<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;echo &quot;ok !&quot;<br />
else<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;echo &quot;error occured&quot;<br />
fi<br />
<br />
<br />

sqlplus -s /nolog
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
  echo error occured
fi
# $? is the return value of your last command

you can do something like the following:

if sqlplus -s /nolog ; then
   echo "ok !"
else
   echo "error occured"
fi

how to handle error in bash scripting in unix

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
