Improper error numbers returned on exit
---------------------------------------

         Key: NUTCH-143
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-143
     Project: Nutch
        Type: Bug
    Versions: 0.8-dev    
    Reporter: Rod Taylor


Nutch does not obey standard command line error numbers which can make it 
difficult to script around commands.

Both of the below should have exited with an error number larger than 0 causing 
the shell script to enter into the 'Failed' case.

bash-3.00$ /opt/nutch/bin/nutch updatedb && echo "==>Success" || echo 
"==>Failed"
Usage: <crawldb> <segment>
==>Success

bash-3.00$ /opt/nutch/bin/nutch readdb && echo "==>Success" || echo "==>Failed"
Usage: CrawlDbReader <crawldb> (-stats | -dump <out_dir> | -url <url>)
        <crawldb>       directory name where crawldb is located
        -stats  print overall statistics to System.out
        -dump <out_dir> dump the whole db to a text file in <out_dir>
        -url <url>      print information on <url> to System.out
==>Success


Note that the nutch shell script functions as expected:

bash-3.00$ /opt/nutch/bin/nutch  && echo "==>Success" || echo "==>Failed"
Usage: nutch COMMAND
where COMMAND is one of:
  crawl             one-step crawler for intranets
  readdb            read / dump crawl db
  readlinkdb        read / dump link db
  admin             database administration, including creation
  inject            inject new urls into the database
  generate          generate new segments to fetch
  fetch             fetch a segment's pages
  parse             parse a segment's pages
  updatedb          update crawl db from segments after fetching
  invertlinks       create a linkdb from parsed segments
  index             run the indexer on parsed segments and linkdb
  merge             merge several segment indexes
  dedup             remove duplicates from a set of segment indexes
  server            run a search server
  namenode          run the NDFS namenode
  datanode          run an NDFS datanode
  ndfs              run an NDFS admin client
  jobtracker        run the MapReduce job Tracker node
  tasktracker       run a MapReduce task Tracker node
  job               manipulate MapReduce jobs
 or
  CLASSNAME         run the class named CLASSNAME
Most commands print help when invoked w/o parameters.
==>Failed
