<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have written a build script which creates a bin directory and compiles java code.<br />
I call this build.sh in another script,dailybuild.sh ,I would like to test that the script ran correctly.<br />
For this I used $?, but this value is turning out to be 1 instead of 0 even though the build.sh is correctly running.?Basically what I want to test is that the contents of build.sh ran properly-ie the code was compiled properly.<br />
Is there a way to test that it ran correctly?<br />
Thanks<br />

checking $? value

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

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.
