How do I know if a command completed successfully - I thought if the $ was
not returned then the command was still running or failed ?

Still running: True.
Failed: Nope.

I strongly recommend you
a) correctly quote text you give as parameters. {} might be interpreted by the shell, and
b) use an ssh connection with proper terminal instead of 5250-emulates-a-vt100.

What is this telling me ?

I don't know. Output in my mail app seems garbled.

Why does the $ prompt not get issued/sent ?

Probably because it's intermixed with

Would I get more information from the stdout file ?

No. If you start the command within a shell, stderr and stdout are printed directly for viewing.

And where would I find the file ?

If you don't redirect, there will be none.

:wq! PoC
