smbget -Rr smb://localhost/share [all files and folders are copied successfully!] echo $? 1 On the other hand, when smbget is introduced with an error smbget -Rr smb://localhost/shar Can't open directory smb://localhost/shar: No such file or directory echo $? 0 This is breaking my error checking in backup scripts. I can't find any place to file a bug report, I hope this is the right list Thanks Jason

Successful completion should return 0 and unsuccessful should return 1. I see it as a bug. Exit status only has values of 0-255. So file count is out :-)
