Xgrid job exit code

Question

This should be quite simple, yet the solution still eludes me.
When I launch a job with xgrid, such as
#xgrid -h med -p abc -job submit /usr/bin/cal -g
the job is submitted to an agent for execution. Some milliseconds later, the job status is changed to Finished which I can see by calling xgrid with -job attributes.
However, in my job submission, I'm calling /usr/bin/cal -g (an illegal switch), causing cal to fail, spurting out something like
cal: illegal option -- g
usage: cal [-jy] [[month] year]
cal [-j] [-m month] [year]
ncal [-Jjpwy] [-s country_code] [[month] year]
ncal [-Jeo] [year]
So there I have a job in the Finished status (not Failed) but yet it failed nonetheless. My question: how can I retrieve the exit code for /usr/bin/cal? I can't see it anywhere...

Answer 1

Yes, Thanks X_console, that should work.
In the meantime, I thought of this solution that also works for me.
When calling for a job's results, I do it first like this:
xgrid ... -job results -id <job id> -so /dev/null
If anything comes up there, I know an error occurred and that the job terminated abnormally. While this doesn't give me an exact exit code, it's still useful.
Thanks again! I'll keep your solution handy for when I'm in need of a precise exit code.
