How can I conditionally use the return code of a command ('mount' in this
case) in a shell script?
I want to do something like:
#!/bin/sh
# first, mount the SMB volume
val=`mount -t smbfs -o username=jill,password="" //HAL/C /mnt/hal`
if [ $val -eq 0 ] ; then
echo "$val"
ls /mnt/hal
smbumount /mnt/hal
else
echo "$val"
echo "Cannot mount //HAL/C on /mnt/hal"
echo "$val"
exit 1
fi
exit 0
