Dec 16, 2018 at 1:22 comment added wjandrea @icarus Oh, got it, OP is asking how to set $?
Dec 10, 2018 at 18:32 comment added icarus @Barmar every process has an exit code. Most of the people trying to answer the question are interpreting the question to mean "what can I replace the 'exit 3' with in the script so it sets the $? variable but doesn't exit this script"?
Dec 10, 2018 at 5:09 comment added Barmar It still makes no sense to me. Why would there be an exit code if you don't actually exit?
Dec 10, 2018 at 1:03 comment added user287203 @wjandrea is more a conceptual question than practical

Tweaked wording; incorporated error message from OP's comment; added tag.
Dec 9, 2018 at 18:25 comment added wjandrea I don't understand the question. Why not set exit_code=3 and eliminate the exit 3 line altogether?
