Today I came across sysexits.h, which defines a standard list of exit
status codes.  It seems to have come from sendmail, but BSD includes a
sysexits(3) man page and BSD's style(9) man page encourages people to
use these codes.  Unfortunately, I've done a few web searches, but I
can't find much discussion of the issue.  Does anyone actually use the
codes from sysexits.h, or is it just a waste of time to worry about?
