-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to nlian on 3/13/2008 12:09 AM: | What I don't understand is why $? return 0 and not 1060 or any other | error code.
1060 is impossible - exit status is constrained to be 0 to 255 (8 bits is all you get). And while 1060%256 == 36 would be nicer, that fix would have to come from Microsoft, not cygwin. We have no control over their lousy programming practices, including when their tools give an exit status of 0 even when displaying a failure message. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
