Re: [Bug-tar] wierd exit status running tar

[David M. Barlieb]

I was able to resolve the issue. I was looking for the exit status of
the tar command so I could send email about success or fail. After
reviewing gnu tar docs I saw that I should have been checking for ext
stat 2 for tar failure, 1 was some files may be corrupt and 0 was total
success. I was only checking for status of 0 and naything else to me was
a failed tar.
 
Sorryy to have "bugged" you guys.

As you can see by inspecting

somehow your email got truncated, so we don't know what the only
difference is.  Perhaps you can resend to bug-tar, explaining
the difference?
