Bug 1202684

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1202582 +++

Description of problem:
When spacecmd is used in non-interactive mode, it returns '0' error code in some instances when it should be returning 1 (eg. if the Spacewalk server cannot be contacted).


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

Tested in both the following versions (EPEL and latest nightly rpm build):
spacecmd-1.9.4-1.el6.noarch.rpm
spacecmd-2.3.18-1.el6.noarch.rpm


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to a invalid host using spacecmd in non-interactive mode (ie. passing a command in quotes)
#spacecmd -s fakehostname.local -u spacewalk -p password "runsomecommand"
ERROR: Failed to connect to https://fakehostname.local/rpc/api

2. Display exit code
#echo $?
0

Actual results:
Exit code '0' is returned.

Expected results:
Exit code '1' should be returned

Additional info:

When running in interactive mode the correct exit code is produced:

#spacecmd -s fakehostname.local -u spacewalk -p password
Welcome to spacecmd, a command-line interface to Spacewalk.

Type: 'help' for a list of commands
      'help <cmd>' for command-specific help
      'quit' to quit

ERROR: Failed to connect to https://fakehostname.local/rpc/api

#echo $?
1

It appears the error code _is_ returned correctly in latest release (spacecmd-2.3.18-1.el6.noarch.rpm) apologies.

#spacecmd -s fakehostname.local -u spacewalk -p password "runsomecommand"
ERROR: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

#echo $?
1


But there appears to be some regression in the error handling (error doesn't appear to be caught) when using interactive mode (compare to output in original bug).


#spacecmd -s fakehostname.local -u spacewalk -p password
Welcome to spacecmd, a command-line interface to Spacewalk.

Type: 'help' for a list of commands
      'help <cmd>' for command-specific help
      'quit' to quit
