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
