I usually use "return ProgStatus.instance().returnCode()". What it maps to in case of success is platform dependant -- the default is EXIT_SUCCESS, but the Unix implementation uses 0. The reason is simple: I have my own return codes: SUCCESS, WARNING, ERROR, FATAL, INTERNAL. The default mapping is for the first two to map to EXIT_SUCCESS, and the others to EXIT_FAILURE. Under Unix, however, they map to assending integers. And WARNING is a bad name, because it is really a second success, used for cases like grep, where you return 1 if you don't find any matches. -- James Kanze mailto: James.Kanze@dresdner-bank.com Conseils en informatique orient�e objet/ Beratung in objekt orientierter Datenverarbeitung Ziegelh�ttenweg 17a, 60598 Frankfurt, Germany Tel. +49(069)63198627 Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.
