             Summary: Ambari Shell exit status
                 Key: AMBARI-17373
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-17373
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Christopher Jackson


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)?
