Handling Quartus executable return codes

First post... I'm very new to Quartus and the FPGA world so be gentle. I've written a script to perform each step of the build step by step using the executables... quartus_map -blabla ...

i see. interestingly the example end to end flow manually runs TAN reports after a full compilation on page 10:

how about something like: 

quartus_map myproj | grep -c unsuccessful
the count of unsuccessful will be 0 if you can continue to the next stage and > 0 if not.

not sure if internal errors will trigger "unsuccessful", i'll check.
