How to capture error in Cygwin, $? is not working

[nlian]

Hi,

I want to write a simple script to start and stop windows service remotely.
Here is the script:

#!/usr/bin/bash
sc \\\\servername start "MyService"
echo $?

=======
The above script return the following messages: 
[SC] StartService: OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

0
=======

What I don't understand is why $? return 0 and not 1060 or any other
error code. I want to capture the error code returned from windows program
How to do this in Cygwin? Please advise.


Thanks.
