IBM Platform Symphony 5.1 Interim Fix 355638 Readme File

Abstract

The EGO shell (egosh) exits with code 0, if you run the egosh command with unsupported or missing input values.

 

Description

When you run an egosh command with errors (such as with non-supported or missing values), the command should return a value greater than zero(such as a return code of 255) to indicate there is a problem with the input values. Currently the egosh command returns an exit code of 0, even if there is a problem with the input values. This fix corrects the misleading exit code.

This fix applies only to the following platform:

Linux 64-bit
