Hi,
 Is it possible to capture return value of a gdb command (status=error or
success)?
 What I want to do is:
(gdb) <gdb-command>
(gdb) if status of <gdb-command> == SUCCESS
      then
           do-something
      else
           do-something-else
      end
(gdb)

Is it posible to do this?

Not right now, no.

There is a try/catch patch lurking though (which makes more sense). Someone should dust it off.
