detailed exit codes

[Christopher Johnston]

Are these documented anywhere?  The man page does not list them all, but grokking the source I see the following.  I am looking to beef-up a puppet launching script we use so we can normalize some of the errors.

0 = no change

1 = failure (ssl related)?

2 = successful transaction

4 = failed transactions

6 = mix of failures and success

[R.I.Pienaar]

puppet agent --help
.
.
detailed-exitcodes: Provide transaction information via exit codes. If
this is enabled, an exit code of '2' means there
were changes, and an exit code of '4' means that
there were failures during the transaction. This
option only makes sense in conjunction with
--onetime.

Saw those, the source indicates 6 is if a run had some success and some fail( at least one of each).

It's a bitmask; 4+2=6. We added that tidbit to the man page in version
2.7.3, but that fix doesn't show up in the 2.6 series. See
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8401

(A total failure of the run will still exit 1 when detailed-exitcodes
is turned on; the 2, 4, and 6 codes just replace the otherwise
uninformative 0 exit code..)
