#30 recursion loses status code

[Steve Hoffman]

When the script calls itself either using /sbin/runuser or su - as the RUN_AS_USER, the exit code is ignored and not passed to the outer call.
The result is that you always get back a zero status code regardless of what the script actually returns.
So if you are using a 'status' call to see if your process is running you should get back a 1 from $?, but instead you always get 0.

Here is an example of the patch:

--- testwrapper.orig 2009-09-04 11:06:28.000000000 -0500

I believe this is in a few places, but didn't go looking for them all.
