Version: 2.06

Issue: Any command that its unknown will result in a zero exit code which is confusing

Example:


grub> hello
error: ../../grub-core/script/function.c:119:can't find command `hello'.
grub> echo $?
0


Kind of weird because on the code it seems like its returning a GRUB_ERR_UNKNOWN_COMMAND which should not be zero. I had a quick look and maybe its becuase on line 1018 of grub-core/script/execute.c we print the error but always return 0 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/tree/grub-core/script/execute.c#n1018

What I would expect: Any command that does not exists to return a different exit code than zero
