Description DzungDo 2013-08-29 20:59:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
remote command worked with expected output, but event history returned error
From satellite server, run a remote command to a rhel 6 client:
yum check-update

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite-5.5.0-20120911

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. System -> select a system -> remote command
2. Enter "yum check-update" in the script text entry box
3. schedule a remote command and check the event history

Actual results:
command return the expected output (list of packages need to update), but status is: Failed


Expected results:
Action's status should be: Completed

Additional info:
Comment 1 Tomas Lestach 2013-09-03 11:13:26 UTC 
Well, the status of the return command depends on the return code of the remote command.

On my machine:
* if there're no updates:
# yum check-update > /dev/null; echo $?
0
* if there're updates available:
# yum check-update > /dev/null; echo $?
100

So, if your script returns a non-zero value, the remote command is considered as failed.

Recommended usage:
=======================================================
#!/bin/sh 

yum check-update 
RET=$? 
if [ $RET -eq 100 ]; then exit 0; else exit $RET; fi
=======================================================

Closing as NOTABUG.
