samba - Sep 2002 - smbclient return status from shellscript?

Hi,

I hope this is the correct mailinglist for my question.

I've made a script that sends a file to a NT shared folder.
As long as I make a successfull connect, I get return status 0...
This is a problem, since now I can't make a correct errorhandling if
something goes wrong.

+/opt/samba-2.0.5a/bin/smbclient //mapa-lap/mapaPublic -E -d0 -I
XXX.YYY.ZZZ.WWW -n mapa-lap -N -U guest -c put a.txt ;put a.txr 
Added interface ip=XXX.YYY.ZZZ.WWW bcast=XXX.YYY.MMM.NNN
nmask=255.255.255.192
putting file a.txt as \a.txt (0.0333717 kb/s) (average 0.0333717 kb/s)
a.txr does not exist            <<<<HERE THE LOCAL FILE DOES NOT
EXIST <<<<<
+ echo 0
0

Checking the flags and manpage doesn't mention anyway to echo an
unsuccessfull status back... 

Any ideas of what to do? 
(I will always send only one file per session, this was just for making the
example clearer.)
(I guess I could pipe the answer to a file and check that I get a "^putting
file", but this is not a preferable solution though).

Why don'?t you check the files befor you copy them via smbclient?

On a linux box with bash:

if [ -r a.txr ]; then
	smbclient //mapa-lap/mapaPublic ... put a.txr 
else
	echo "Error...."
fi

This should be similar with other shell's.
