The exit status of the build script is ignored. A simple fix is store the status in a file and refer to that afterwards. Another fix uses a separate file descriptor to pass through the status, like { st=$( { { ./kernel-toolchain.sh 2>&1 3>&- 4>&-; echo $? >&3; } | tee logfile >&4 } 3>&1) } 4>&1 but this is fairly complicated. The issue can be sidestepped entirely by sending the output to a file only; a developer can use tail -f to follow the build if necessary. -- Jilles Tjoelker
