--- Begin Message ---Package: timeout Version: 1.11-6.5 Severity: important timeout(1) returns an incorrect exit code (counter to what the man page says) when the child process exits before the specified timeout. E.g. "timeout 10 false" returns 0, which makes checking the exit status useless. This is because the status given by wait(2) is returned directly, when WEXITSTATUS(status) should be returned instead. (Of course, using just WEXITSTATUS poses a problem when the child is terminated by a signal, so this issue should be considered carefully.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages timeout depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries timeout recommends no packages. timeout suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Version: 1.19-1 Some (long) time ago you filed this bug against the timeout package. In the meantime the package has been removed and a timeout command is included in the coreutils package. If the issue you encountered is also applicable to timeout from coreutils (as released with Debian 7.0 wheezy or later) the maintainers would very much appreciate a fresh report using reportbug /usr/bin/timeout (you should also mention the number of this bug if you think it contains valuable information). Please note that further information sent to this bug is likely to remain unread, because the bug is currently not assigned to any existing package. Thank you for taking time to report bugs found in Debian packages. Kind regards, Andrei (with no relation to timeout, tct or coreutils maintenance)
