Job Error

When i run a script in a HP-UX server, it returns the job error 255. Can anyone knows what it means?

TIA

255 is not a standard exit code. There are some "semi" standards as found in sysexits.h and the use of 127 + signal code, 130 for EINTR and so on.

Some odd software will return 255 when trying to start a daemon, Tivoli used to do this, when the required files are not found - sort of 'catch-all' error code.

Did you write the script? In any case, try reading the script and looking to see what error codes it returns.

In general, and most unfortunately, script writers often use arbitrary exit codes.
