It specifies them in some cases, but not all. For example, for "diff" 0 means success, 1 means differences, >1 means error. For "env" 0 means success, 127 means not found, 126 means not invokable, and 1-125 means some other error. There are other weird cases like that. > Have you a pointer to the POSIX docs ? http://www.unix.org/single_unix_specification/ > Might it be possible to use a > scheme like values greater than 63 are warnings else errors...? I suspect that'd be difficult to achieve. It sounds simpler to put a wrapper between exit/_exit and the VMS exit. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
