Hey all,
Sorry to bring this up again, but I'm having issues again with Cygwin
not passing error level codes back to the cmd shell.
Example, when clamscan finds a virus, it issues a return code of 1.
Inside of a Cygwin env it returns fine.
================
../test/clam.exe: ClamAV-Test-File FOUND
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 31320
Engine version: devel-20050301
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 1
Data scanned: 0.00 MB
Time: 3.372 sec (0 m 3 s)
$ echo $?
1
================
However, outside of Cygwin in a cmd shell, its returning 256 instead
of 1 to cmd.
================
../test/clam.exe: ClamAV-Test-File FOUND
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 31320
Engine version: devel-20050301
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 1
Data scanned: 0.00 MB
Time: 2.840 sec (0 m 2 s)
>echo %ERRORLEVEL%
256
================
I'm using Cygwin 1.5.13 - this apparently seems to work fine in
1.5.12. I know I brought up this issue in the past, and it was
supposedly fixed, but it doesn't entirely look like it.
This is Win2k Pro SP4.
Thanks!
