--- Begin Message ---Package: timeout Version: 1.11-6.5 Severity: normal Tags: patch The timeout program does not return the exit status of the program it runs, although it is documented to do so. The problem is that wait(2) returns a 16-bit integer, with the exit status in the high bits and the signal information in the low bits. This value is passed unmodified to exit(2), which expects an 8-bit integer with just the exit status. This is fixed in the latest version of The Coroner's Toolkit, by using WEXITSTATUS and WTERMSIG to compute an exit value. This patch modifies the 1.11 version of timeout included in Lenny to have the same behavior. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages timeout depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries timeout recommends no packages. timeout suggests no packages. -- no debconf informationBinary files tct-1.11/bin/timeout and tct-1.11-sg/bin/timeout differ diff -ur tct-1.11/src/misc/timeout.c tct-1.11-sg/src/misc/timeout.c --- tct-1.11/src/misc/timeout.c 2001-09-09 17:46:10.000000000 -0400 +++ tct-1.11-sg/src/misc/timeout.c 2011-08-24 17:27:22.000000000 -0400 @@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ /* System libraries. */ #include <sys/types.h> +#include <sys/wait.h> #include <signal.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> @@ -103,6 +104,6 @@ alarm(time_to_run); while ((pid = wait(&status)) != -1 && pid != child_pid) /* void */ ; - return (pid == child_pid ? status : -1); + return (pid == child_pid ?

--- 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)
