[Bug 1137] ssh does not always return code 255 when in error
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1137 Summary: ssh does not always return code 255 when in error Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 4.2p1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ssh AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org ReportedBy: ombugr at mayoxide.com The ssh client does not always return exit code 255 when it a client error occurs, as it is documented in the man page. For example, a refused or timed out connection returns exit code 1, while a unknown hostname returns 255. This makes automating tasks using ssh tricky, as I can't be sure if the exit code comes from the remote command or the client when there is a connection problem. About 6 months ago, someone posted a report on the mailing list detailing the exact same problem, see: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=111754196015597&w=2 I wondered if it could be possible to correct this in the client in the future. If the behaviour is normal, then the man page should then be updated, as currently this is ambiguous.
