It sounds like you're getting the exit code in a program, say from a waitpid() or similar, and you're not massaging it properly (see the WIFEXITSTATUS() macro, for example, typically found in the waitpid() man page). In the return code from waitpid(), etc., only the least 8 bits of the code are the exit code of the process; the rest of the value tells you other things. So if you want the 0, 1, or 2 you have to take only the least 8 bits. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
