> When you go  {{hadoop namenode start}} (or some other bad argument to the namenode), a usage message is generated -but the script returns 0. 
> This stops it being a robust command to invoke from other scripts -and is inconsistent with the JT & TT entry points, that do return -1 on a usage message
