Comment 1 Tomas Lestach 2013-09-03 11:13:26 UTC

Well, the status of the return command depends on the return code of the remote command.

On my machine:
* if there're no updates:
# yum check-update > /dev/null; echo $?
0
* if there're updates available:
# yum check-update > /dev/null; echo $?
100

So, if your script returns a non-zero value, the remote command is considered as failed.

Recommended usage:
=======================================================
#!/bin/sh 

yum check-update 
RET=$? 
if [ $RET -eq 100 ]; then exit 0; else exit $RET; fi
=======================================================

Closing as NOTABUG.
