The exit status for `mzscheme' indicates an error if an error occurs
during a command-line eval (using -e, etc.), load (using -f, -r, etc.),
or require (using -l, etc.) when no read-eval-print loop is started.
Otherwise, the exit status is 0 or determined by a call to exit.

(That's from 16.1.1 in the PLT Scheme reference, but I edited it a
little to fill in some context.)


So you might just want

  mzscheme any.sc ; echo $?

If you really need to pipe expressions into the REPL, then you could
set `uncaught-exception-handler' to call `exit' with a non-0 value.
