[rdesktop-devel] Return values of rdesktop program / Program keeps running when window closed

[Arend v. B. jr. <ar...@au...>]

I'm using krdc (KDE Remote Desktop Connection) to provide a KDE frontend for 
rdesktop. I wanted to use the return values of rdesktop so in case of failure 
krdc can give a useful error to the user, but I found out rdesktop simply 
returns 0 or 1. Would it be possible to set up a list with return values and 
their meaning so frontends can better determine what went wrond?

For instance:
0: succes
1: incorrect arguments
2: network unreachable
3: connection refused
4: time-out
5: incorrect username or password
6: ...

Also I found that when the connection can't be established because the network 
is not reachable, rdesktop will wait very long till it responds. When you 
click the window away, one would expect the program to terminate, but still 
it keeps waiting - this is very confusing. Is it possible to terminate the 
entire program when the window is closed?

Greets,
