Bash: One-liner to exit with the opposite status of a grep command?

Question

How can I reduce the following bash script?

grep -P \"STATUS: (?!Perfect)\" recess.txt && exit 1
exit 0

It seems like I should be able

Answer 1

I came across this, needing an onlyif statement for Puppet. As such, Tgr's bash solution wouldn't work, and I didn't want to expand the complexity as in Christopher Neylan's answer.

I ended up using a version inspired by Henri Schomäcker's answer, but notably simplified:

grep -P "STATUS: (?!Perfect)" recess.txt; test $? -eq 1

Which very simply inverts the exit code, returning success only if the text is not found:

• If grep returns 0 (match found), test 0 -eq 1 will return 1.
• If grep returns 1 (no match found), test 1 -eq 1 will return 0.
• If grep returns 2 (error), test 2 -eq 1 will return 1.

Which is exactly what I wanted: return 0 if no match is found, and 1 otherwise.
