One more time for better formatting.

'm running GPL Ghostscript 8.63 on a Redhat 5 box and I'm having issues with the exit code not being returned to the shell.  For instance if I do something like (bogus.pdf does not exist):

gs -q -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -dPDFFitPage -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile="tmp.tif" -- "bogus.pdf"


I get the following output:

Error: /undefinedfilename in (bogus.pdf)
Operand stack:

Execution stack:
   %interp_exit   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   false   1   %stopped_push
Dictionary stack:
   --dict:1147/1684(ro)(G)--   --dict:0/20(G)--   --dict:71/200(L)--
Current allocation mode is local
Last OS error: 2
GPL Ghostscript 8.63: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1


The output says exit code 1 but when I do:

echo "$?"


I get a "0".

I have been able to get a non-zero return code when I do something like removing the output device specification:

gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile="tmp.tif" -- "bogus.pdf"


In this situation, I get the following output:

X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).


Any ideas as to what I'm missing?

Something got baked in the formatting of the original post because I assumed I would be able to preview the post before submitting it.  Oh well, let me try again.
