Probably not the direction you were thinking but why not create a systemd
service file for DumpPreUserCmd to start?
I'm assuming you're using a system which uses systemd...
If you prepend the command in the service file with a hyphen the unit will
exit cleanly even if the command failed...
ExecStart=-/command/to/run
Then you would set your DumpPreUserCmd to "/usr/bin/systemctl start <unit>"
You would want to set the unit type to "oneshot" so it doesn't return until
the command is finished.
Just a thought.
Thanks,
Richard
