[Pdns-users] Return code of pdns_control

[Erik Ljungstrom]

Hi,

I've noticed that the pdns_control command returns 0 regardless of the outcome 
of the operation. It would be great if the return code would indicate that 
there was a problem.

For example:

$ pdns_control retrieve thisdoesntexist.com ; echo $?
Domain 'thisdoesntexist.com' unknown
0

$ pdns_control retrieve syntax error ; echo $?
syntax: retrieve domain
0

>From a scripting point of view, it would be mighty useful if the return code 
>would be != 0 if there was a problem of some sort.

We're running pdns-2.9.22. Before I start digging through the source, is there 
any chance this will be changed in a future release?

Cheers,
Erik

Simon,

the solution to your issue is almost certainly in
http://wiki.powerdns.com/trac/changeset/1640

Even though you do not see the log messages, I'm pretty sure this is it.

Morning Bert,

We had a crash on one of the upgraded servers over the weekend and as 
suspected it happened around the default max tcp-clients, please see the 
entry from my log below that was running to query the amount of clients :-

Also the grep you asked for returned no lines for any of the stated 
messages.  This looks to be an issue with closing down certain kinds of 
tcp clients from the debug.


Thanks
