The same applies for texsync: it would be nice to get the exit code of the rsync command.

Which non-zero number is returned is application dependent. The POSIX standard 2001 (Single Unix Standard v3; (c) Open Group) writes in its "Shell & Utilities section": "The EXIT STATUS section describes the values the utility shall return to the calling program, or shell, and the conditions that cause these values to be returned. Usually, utilities return zero for successful completion and values greater than zero for various error conditions. If specific numeric values are listed in this section, the system shall use those values for the errors described. In some cases, status values are listed more loosely, such as >0. A strictly conforming application shall not rely on any specific value in the range shown and shall be prepared to receive any value in the range." According to the ISO C99 standard, the default exit code is also 0: "If the return type of the main function is a type compatible with int, a return from the initial call to the main function is equivalent to calling the exit function with the value returned by the main function as its argument;[...] reaching the } that terminates the main function returns a value of 0." I do not know what DOS programs are doing, though. Tobias ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
