Changing the exit code

Open davejlong opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

To start off, it's handy having the exit code option in the CLI. I'm working on writing Pronto into my Git pre-commit hook that I use across most projects.

Basing exit codes on how many errors were found does break Linux standards for exit codes though. It may not be a huge issue, but if you build Pronto into a service script for SystemD or init.d, you might run into issues. IIRC exit 3 on HP-UX for example will reboot the server, if done from init.d scripts.

Not sure if this is really something that will ever have effects, but it should at least be documented.

@davejlong :+1:, good points.

Would you create a pull request that expands documentation?
