[jira] [Commented] (WHIRR-653) Script exit codes aren't being checked

["Andrew Bayer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-653?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13613271#comment-13613271 ] 

Andrew Bayer commented on WHIRR-653:
------------------------------------

This would be valuable, but will necessitate making sure we actually have meaningful exit codes in all the existing scripts, and may also mean changing the aggregate bootstrap and configure scripts to exit on error, rather than just passing the last exit code it hits to the caller. Will look at soon.

> My installer script bails out with an {{exit 1}} on many operations, such as
> {{chown -R hadoop:hadoop $HADOOP_PID_DIR  || exit 1;}}
> This is to find problems early and so aid debugging of the installation.
> Even when a script fails this way, Whirr declares that the installation was successful. 
> It must check the return codes to be confident that the operation succeeded.
