Some condor_* commands with valid parameter '-help' return non zero exit code
Last modified: 2012-02-06 13:17:48 EST
Description of problem: Some commands condor_* return with valid parameter '-help' exit code different of zero. Acts about e.g. condor_config_val, condor_continue, condor_history, condor_hold, condor_off, condor_on, condor_release, condor_suspend,... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): condor-7.6.5-0.5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: Run mentioned commands with parameter '-help' and control exit code. # condor_rm -help # echo $? Actual results: Commands return with valid parameter -help non zero return code. Expected results: Commands should return zero with valid parameter -help.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: C: Run condor tools with -help from the command line and check the return code. C: Return code is non-zero when it should be 0 F: Update the tools to return 0 when executing with -help R: Running condor tools with -help from the command line returns 0
There are still commands which returns $? != 0 for '-h' or '-help' parameter: $ condor_cod -h; echo $? ... 1 $ condor_findhost -h; echo $? ... 1 $ condor_router_history -h; echo $? ... 1 $ condor_ssh_to_job -h; echo $? ... 2 $ condor_submit_dag -help; echo $? ... 1 $ condor_userlog -help; echo $? ... 1 $ condor_wait -help; echo $? ... 1 Tested with condor-7.6.5-0.11.el5/.el6.
Is the afore mentioned list complete?
I've got list of binaries in condor package(rpm -ql | grep bin) and run them with -h and -help. I've sorted out those one which returned non zero value to 2 categories. First category contains binaries which have not in man pages or among parameters -h or -help so non-zero return code is OK. And binaries from second category you can see in comment #5. So yes, that is complete list of binaries in condor package which return non-zero value if it is called with -h or -help and they have in man page or among parameters -h or -help.
There is new bug 773434 for rest commands. -->VERIFIED
