> Ambari shell is a great tool to automate the creation of clusters. However as far as automation is concerned there is an issue with knowing whether the cluster was provisioned successfully or not. 
> For instance if I execute the following sequence of shell commands:
> {code}
> java -jar /tmp/ambari-shell.jar --ambari.host=$HOSTNAME << EOF
> blueprint add --file /tmp/blueprint.json
> cluster build --blueprint my-blueprint
> cluster assign --hostGroup host_group_1 --host $HOSTNAME
> cluster create --exitOnFinish true
> EOF
> {code}
> I have no idea if the cluster provisioned successfully unless I look at the output. 
> Is it possible to have ambari-shell return a status code of 0 only when every command completed successfully? I know that may not be the best solution since the shell can be used for multiple purposes other then creating a cluster. Alternatively, can the cluster create command have an additional flag that writes to a file on disk with its status (eg. SUCCESS, FAILURE)?
