Description Rob Crittenden 2009-07-10 17:49:43 UTC
Description of problem:

pkisilent always returns 0 whether the command succeeds or not. This makes it difficult to use within a script.

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

dogtag 1.1 SVN revision 675

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /usr/bin/pkisilent -foo
2. echo $?

With caveat of checking for an empty string in the function:
checkRequireArgs.

Comment 4 Ade Lee 2009-12-03 21:34:06 UTC
Note to docs/ QE:

This is easy to test. See description.
You should be able to invoke pkisilent and check status with 
echo $?

You should get 0 for success, and non-zero for any errors.

Comment 5 Asha Akkiangady 2010-05-13 15:41:11 UTC
Tested pkisilent for CA, KRA, OCSP, RA, TKS and CA clone, returns 0 when success and non zero for failures.

Marking the bug verified.
