             Summary: Inconsistency in gfsh status command
                 Key: GEODE-2971
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2971
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: gfsh
            Reporter: Patrick Rhomberg


There is a general inconsistency in gfsh's exit status to the shell.  This makes scripting rather difficult.  For instance:

* Locator & Server Online (+)
** --pid: exit code {{0}} for both, all good.
** --name: exit code {{0}} for both, all good.
** --dir: exit code {{0}} for both, all good.
* Locator Online, Server Offline (-)
** --pid: exit code is {{0}} for both. Nevertheless, the return string when executing the command for the server returns a {{null}} within the message (where the ip and port should be). As an example: {{Server in /path/to/server/directory on null is currently not responding}}.
** --name: exit code is {{0}} for the locator, {{1}} for the server because there's no online member with the specified name... which raises the question: there wasn't any exceptions during the execution, shouldn't we return {{0}}?.
** --dir: exit code is {{0}} for both. Nevertheless, the return string when executing the command for the server returns a {{null}} within the message (where the ip and port should be). As an example: {{Server in /path/to/server/directory on null is currently not responding}}.
* Locator & Server Offline (-)
** --pid: exit code for locator is {{1}}, and the return string only contains {{null}}. The exit code for server is {{0}}, but the return string contains a {{null}} within the message (where the ip and port should be). As an example: {{Server in /path/to/server/directory on null is currently not responding}}.
** --name: both return {{1}}, which is expected since there's no jmx manager running and this option requires gfsh to be connected.
** --dir: exit code for locator is {{1}}, and the return string only contains {{null}}. The exit code for server is {{0}}, but the return string contains a {{null}} within the message (where the ip and port should be). As an example: {{Server in /path/to/server/directory on null is currently not responding}}.
