Hi Guys,

Currently, we are connecting windows machines via OpenSSH.

When we execute the remote command it always returns exits status 0

console output for ref.

=====================
[rd@dvserver143 dhana]$ ssh [email protected] 'hostname'
WIN-7U3C8GAPDJI
[rd@dvserver143 dhana]$ echo $?

The command you ran was ssh. It succeeded. This will not tell you what
the exit status is of the remote command.
You have to do that as part of the remote command.

[rd@dvserver143 dhana]$ ssh [email protected] 'hostname1'
/bin/sh: hostname1: command not found
[rd@dvserver143 dhana]$ echo $?
0
[rd@dvserver143 dhana]$
=====================

please guide me. How to fix this.

ask the remote machine what the exit status was of the command you ran.
I have no idea if Windows will give you an exit status or not.

Hi William,

The same command When I execute linux machine. I am able to get the exit-status properly.

console print for linux machine.
==================
[rd@dvserver143 ~]$ ssh [email protected] "hostname"
dvserver22
[rd@dvserver143 ~]$ echo $?
0
[rd@dvserver143 ~]$ ssh [email protected] "hostname1"
bash: hostname1: command not found
[rd@dvserver143 ~]$ echo $?
127
[rd@dvserver143 ~]$
==================

so. the issue is the windows+opensshd is not properly returning the exit status code.

the exit status is of the remote command.

The testing I just did (Linux to Linux) agrees with this.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the difference in exist status
vs ERRORLEVEL. As in if this is a Windows<ism> (formerly a DOS<ism>)
that isn't translating well.

The man page says that ssh returns with the exit code of the command ssh
runs, unlike my statement originally. But I have no idea what "exit
satus" means under Windows. What is the ssh server program on the other
end?

How are you running OpenSSH on Windows? You clearly have some UNIX-like
layer on top of Windows, given the reference to "/bin/sh" in the error
message -- but which one?

For example, "eddie" is my Windows 10 laptop, with sshd running under
64-bit Cygwin. I'm invoking ssh from my Ubuntu system.

$ ssh eddie true ; echo $?
0
$ ssh eddie false ; echo $?
1
$ ssh eddie nosuchcommand ; echo $?
bash: nosuchcommand: command not found
127
$

(The reference to "bash" is probably because that's my login shell on
eddie.)
