https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D232657 Bug ID: 232657 Summary: usr.sbin/sysrc: Return code 0 after failing to modify a file Product: Base System Version: 11.2-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: kwiat3k@panic.pl To reproduce try to modify file in non existing directory: $ sysrc -f ./nonexistent/testfile foo=3D"bar" /usr/sbin/sysrc: cannot create ./nonexistent/testfile: No such file or directory $ echo $? 0 The exit code is 0 while I was expecting to see ENOENT (2). It's the same when I try to modify file that is not accessible: $ sysrc -f /etc/rc.conf foo=3Dbar /usr/sbin/sysrc: cannot create /etc/rc.conf: Permission denied $ echo $? 0 In this case EACCESS (13) should be returned. I don't think that distinguishing these errors is needed. Returning anything different than 0 should do the job. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
