Hi Nate,

El 9 d’abril de 2012 18:06, Nate Lawson <nate@root.org> ha escrit:
> The message is fine, but I think an error code of 0 is wrong. Powerd didn't start, whereas 0 means the daemon launched successfully.

In that case, may I suggest that we return one of the error codes
recommended by sysexists(3)?  EX_UNAVAILABLE seems close enough to the
reason we're aborting.
