See attached patch. Before, 'lyx -e pdf2' would give no error and would exit with 0. A use case is if a user has in a bash script the following command:
lyx -e pdf2 "${mylxyfile}" || exit 1 where 'lyx' is mispelled as 'lxy' and thus yields an empty string. If LyX does not exit with an error, the script continues where the user probably intends for it to stop. Can it go in? Scott
