From itz at buug.org Sun Dec 13 16:20:40 2015 From: itz at buug.org (Ian Zimmerman) Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2015 16:20:40 -0800 Subject: [buug] Another trivial? scripting problem Message-ID: <20151214000901.30955.063A0A1D@ahiker.mooo.com> I need to run the "dialog" program or something really close to it (whiptail may be fine) in a separate terminal emulator and gather the results from it. It is easy to redirect the file descriptor on which dialog spits out the actual answer to a real file. The problem is with dialog's exit status. That is how dialog communicates that the button I hit was Cancel and not OK, so the answer should be ignored; but the terminal (urxvt in my case) seems to drop the exit status from the command it runs and always exits with status 0. The only solution I see so far is another layer of indirection, that is make urxvt run not dialog, but a wrapper script which saves the status. But the whole thing is already a kind of wrapper, so this is ugly. Any other ideas? -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages.
