Here's the BASH code that I currently have #!/bin/bash for YEAR in 2003 2004 2005 2006 do CMD="./import.php $YEAR" $CMD done
It executes the PHP script once for each of the years in the list. The PHP script exits with "exit($total);" to have its exit status set to the number of items it imported. I would like BASH to trap this value and at the end echo the total of the 4 script executions. /B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd A.
