Full Discussion: Logins command exit status is 236 not 0
Operating Systems HP-UX Logins command exit status is 236 not 0 Post 302374750 by parkea2 on Thursday 26th of November 2009 07:01:00 AM

Logins command exit status is 236 not 0
I have noticed that on version 11.23 I get exit status 236 from the
following command:

logins -oxl root ; echo $?
> 236

However on 11.31 I get the expected code 0

logins -oxl root ; echo $?
> 0

The output is correct for both versions and contains no error data.
Can anyone explain this ? Its causing problems with some automation
we are using which calls the logins command and check the exit status.

Update:
Further investigation as revealed this is hardware dependent.

IA64 with 11.23 OK exit code 0
IA64 with 11.31 OK exit code 0

RISC with 11.23 FAIL exit code 236 ******

IA64 with 11.31 OK exit code 0
RISC with 11.23 OK exit code 0

We still do not know why this is happening, still would love some
feedback if you can explain this..

explain_ferror_or_die

explain_ferror_or_die(3)				     Library Functions Manual					  explain_ferror_or_die(3)

NAME

       explain_ferror_or_die - check stream status and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/ferror.h>
       void explain_ferror_or_die(FILE *fp);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_ferror_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  ferror(3) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
       obtained from explain_ferror(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
	      explain_ferror_or_die(fp);

       It is essential that this function cal be placed as close as possible to the I/O code that has caused the  problem,  otherwise  intervening
       code could have altered the errno global variable.

       fp      The fp, exactly as to be passed to the ferror(3) system call.

       Returns:
	       This function only returns on success.  On failure, prints an explanation and exits.

SEE ALSO

       ferror(3)
	       check stream status

       explain_ferror(3)
	       explain ferror(3) errors
