Hi,

Thanks for all the suggestions to my problem, even if non realy solved
the problem.
What I ended up with is the following workaround.

(command; echo $?) | tee outputfile
ret=$(tail -1 outputfile)

Hi Gurus!

I've a small scripting Question.

I would like to do something like this.

command | tee outputfile

The problem is that I want toi get the return-code ($?) from the command
and NOT from tee. If I do it as I've shown above i'll only get the
returncode from tee.

I can not send the output to a log-file and then do a cat of the file
because I need to se the output as the command is running.

Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
