Hi,
I have an exec {} that runs a command line script, for which 0 and 1 are
both good return codes. (Specifically, spamassassin update; 1 means no new
downloads). I tried
returns => [0,1],
but it still reports an error on RC = 1. Are multiple values not appropriate
here?
My workaround is to exec a wrapper script that traps ''1'' and
returns 0.
TIA

And I had forgotten about doing the restart when updates happen. Fortunately it''s a test box with not much happening yet.
