    Hi Gurus!

    I've a small scripting Question.

    I would like to do something like this.

    command | tee outputfile

    The problem is that I want toi get the return-code ($?) from the command
    and NOT from tee. If I do it as I've shown above i'll only get the
    returncode from tee.

    I can not send the output to a log-file and then do a cat of the file
    because I need to se the output as the command is running.

    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
