The "first byte" (if ints were 16bits, in MSB order) of the exit code is
the return status of the command (see "perldoc -f system") - in this case,
signal-event returned 1.
This sequence:
> db_delete(\%accounts, $username);
> my $rc = system("/sbin/e-smith/signal-event", "user-delete", $username);
will eventually cause you problems. You won't be able to tell ahead of
time which actions will require some of the properties of the account you
are deleting in order to do their job. That will depend on what contribs
are installed. That's why we always first change the type to
"user-deleted", then run the "user-delete" action, then remove the db
entry for the account.
One of the actions and/or signal-event itself is returning an exit
status. You'll need to work out why.
