merlyn's answer was dead on, for some reason it earlier it wasn't returning an error code, now with a minor tweak to merlyn's code I was able to get it working exactly like I wanted. THANKS A MILLION! This is a best place on the net for anything perl. I will be donating some $$$.... my code for completeness: `open MAKE, "make -f <params> 2>&1 \|" or die; open (LOGFILE, ">>build.log") or die; while (<MAKE>) { print LOGFILE $_; print } close MAKE; # to get $? my $exit = $? >> 8; close LOGFILE;` [download] Edit: g0n - code tags	[reply] [d/l]

the code wasn't actually returning the error code for the make file as far as i could tell. I used it to run any program, and had to add this at the end: `exit $exit;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

PIPESTATUS does indeed work when using Bash. Nice trick! `false \| tee /dev/null [ $PIPESTATUS -eq 0 ] \|\| exit $PIPESTATUS` [download] --- "A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack."	[reply] [d/l]
