Notice that she said she tried it, it works, but is not an option for her because they need to be invoked from DOS command shells as well, and she doesn't want the bat files to cause those shells to exit. Angela is a former valued colleague of mine from Cygnus and Red Hat days, so I offered some suggestions in private email. It looks like if she changes the invocation of her .bat files from just foo.bat to cmd /c call foo.bat then an exit /b in foo.bat will work correctly. I'm contemplating making a change to cygwin to cause this to be the default. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
1.3.15 on W2K: return codes, bash, cmd.exe
cygwin v1.3.15 on Windows 2000 Server, COMSPEC is cmd.exe I searched in the FAQ and list archives and could not find an answer/solution to my question. I'm currently supporting a very lame build system that contains bash script that calls a series of .bat scripts. The .bat scripts do some minimal error checking and exit with exit /b 1 on error. Unfortunately, this exit code doesn't seem to make it to the bash script. If a .bat file exits with exit 1, the shell does seem to get the error code. Unfortunately, this isn't a possible workaround since these .bat files are also run from DOS shells. I tried using ash as well but got the same results. Is this a known problem? Per the web page, I'm including cygcheck -s -v -r output at the end of my message. For security reasons, I've removed hostname and other host identifying information.
