Hi ,

I am new to shell scripting but i am stuck with the following issue , as i want to catch a python script error and if there is an error then echo eyx message:
the shell script i wrote is
#!/bin/sh

case “xyz” in
get_xml)
cd xyz
python2.5 hello_xml.pyc;
if [[ $? -ne "1" ]]; then
echo “ERROR”
exit
else
echo “Done”
fi
;;

but issue is even the python script hello_xml.pyc throws an error the shell IF statement is not catching it , it always echo “done” only!!! in both case of failure and success.
Can some one point me to correct direction.
