summary: PSFTP failures don't always produce failure exit code class: bug: This is clearly an actual problem we want fixed. difficulty: fun: Just needs tuits, and not many of them. blocks: exit-codes priority: medium: This should be fixed one day. present-in: 0.64 307aaccc59f6fbfdf7b980ae709c083786044163 fixed-in: 95501a148ccbb0dd49a862d43ebfbac33560b3af 2015-06-26 0.65
When running PSFTP with -batch, if a single command fails
(e.g. because the target filesystem is full) but the SSH server returns
an exit-status of zero then PSFTP itself returns an exit status
of zero. In similar circumstances (and using the SFTP backend) PSCP
returns failure.
PSFTP in batch mode already exits early if any command fails, so under
those circumstances it would seem sensible for it to also return failure.
