SSH Remote command exit code always get 0

I found a strange error when I try to get SSH Remote command exit code. I don't understand why it will get different result and how to explain it. Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong or a better way to capture the exit status of the remote ssh command. Appreciate any help.

local command:

ssh_test/test.sh; echo $?;

+ exit 1 1

ssh command:(Ubuntu 18.04)

ssh 127.0.0.1 "ssh_test/test.sh; echo $?"

+ exit 1 0

test.sh

#!/bin/bash set -x exit 1

Solution

  • I should use single quotation marks to double quotation marks. echo $? will become "0", if I use double quotation marks to execution ssh command.

    ssh 127.0.0.1 'ssh_test/test.sh; echo $?'
