Ravi Phulari reopened HADOOP-6143:
----------------------------------


As I wrote in the above description HDFS shell guide misleads to user  that 
exit code -1 is returned on error. 
( http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/hdfs_shell.html#du ) 
Either we should return exact exit value equal to -1 on error or we should  
correct documentation as  "exit code returns non zero value on error"

OS X manual for CP  command explicitly mentions that "cp utility exits >0 if an 
error occurs"
{code}
statepick-lm:hadoop-hdfs rphulari$ man cp | grep exit
           is displayed and the exit value is not altered.
     The cp utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
{code}

> FS shell commands returns incorrect exit code  when error occurs
