[Integrit-users] Exit code bug

[Thorsten K. <tho...@th...>]

Hi,

Integrit 4 returns the wrong exit code (0) when a file is missing.

Integrit returns 0 when the file is missing or when not missing

Integrit returns 1 when the file has changed.

Obviously it doesn't (or shouldn't matter) whether a file has changed 
or has completely vanished. From a "file integrity checker" point of 
view both cases should be "file has changed" scenarios and should 
return "1".

This makes it impossible to query changes from a batch script via exit 
codes or I'd have to use the crude hack that was suggested in [1]

if [ "`wc -l $filename | awk '{ print $1 }'`" -gt 0 ]; then

Will this be fixed?!
