Package: timeout
Version: 1.11-6
Severity: important
Evidently this bug was fixed in tct's 1.07-9 release (ref. bug #132927) -
however it appears to have resurfaced for timeout.
timeout's man page offers:
"timeout's exit status is the exit status of the specified command or 1
in case of a usage error."
and I note the fix for bug #137240 expands on this to "... or 128+n of
timeout signalled the command (n being the command's exit status)".
However, for the case where the command exits successfully (i.e. isn't
signalled), timeout is not propagating the command's exit status.
i.e. this is ok:
$ timeout 2 sleep 5; echo $?
Timeout: aborting command ``sleep'' with signal 9
Killed
137
this isn't:
$ timeout 5 true; echo $?
0
$ timeout 5 false; echo $?
0
$ timeout 5 sleep 1; echo $?
0
Regards,
Ben
