From 6f12d0629f411c6b580585dbcfb4409a72b7362e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjun Shankar Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2014 23:31:47 +0530 Subject: Correctly report nscd child process status (BZ #17092) The nscd parent process returns the result of a `wait' call rather than the exit status of the child it waits for. These two aren't exactly the same. In my case (and probably on most machines), the exit status is in the 2nd LSB of the result of `wait', and so: e.g. if the nscd child process returns 1, the parent returns 1 << 8, which Bash happily reports as 0. --- nscd/nscd.c | 22 +++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'nscd') diff --git a/nscd/nscd.c b/nscd/nscd.c index 3dd1135b46..7131ead8cb 100644 --- a/nscd/nscd.c +++ b/nscd/nscd.c @@ -612,21 +612,25 @@ monitor_child (int fd) method, like a segfault. */ if (ret <= 0 || child_ret != 0) { - int err = wait (&child_ret); + int status; + int err = wait (&status); if (err < 0) { - fprintf (stderr, _("wait failed")); + fprintf (stderr, _("'wait' failed\n")); return 1; } - fprintf (stderr, _("child exited with status %d"), - WEXITSTATUS (child_ret)); - if (WIFSIGNALED (child_ret)) - fprintf (stderr, _(", terminated by signal %d.\n"), - WTERMSIG (child_ret)); - else - fprintf (stderr, ".\n"); + if (WIFEXITED (status)) + { + child_ret = WEXITSTATUS (status); + fprintf (stderr, _("child exited with status %d\n"), child_ret); + } + if (WIFSIGNALED (status)) + { + child_ret = WTERMSIG (status); + fprintf (stderr, _("child terminated by signal %d\n"), child_ret); + } } /* We have the child status, so exit with that code. */ -- cgit 1.4.1
