Hi Patrick,
When I do the test on a RedHat, I get a rc 1 !.
[donypie@linprd03 ~]$ cat a.sftp
get tuut.test
[donypie@linprd03 ~]$ sftp -b a.sftp localhost
donypie@localhost's password:
sftp> get tuut.test
Couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory
File "/home/donypie/tuut.test" not found.
[donypie@linprd03 ~]$ echo $?
1
[donypie@linprd03 ~]$
But I have received news from Sun concerning this problem and they said
that :
Openssh sftp has changed in release 3.6p1, and *this* is why we are
seeing different behaviour e.g. on a Linux distribution which bundles
a sufficiently recent OpenSSH suite.
These newer sftp binaries will indeed exit with a nonzero status when
one of the batched subcommands did not succeed as requested, and of
course they will still do so when they encounter a protocol-level error.
I hope they will implement these new features in SSH Sun as soon as
possible.
Thanks everybody.
Pierre.

Subject: RE: FW: SSH/SFTP rc problem in Solaris.
Just tried this on a Red Hat box (EL4). I get a return code of 0 for
the same commands.
We have a SSH return code problem when we use SSH in batch in
Solaris.
We haven't this problem on RedHat.
bash-2.05$ cat a.sftp
ls -l
pwd
get b.txt
ls -l
bash-2.05$ sftp -b a.sftp scnsys11

** As you can see in this example, sftp gives a rc = 0. If you try
the
same
on RedHat, you will receive a rc not equal to 0.
