exit code 142

[EML]

What is meant by return code 142? We had some informix script running, but exiting with this return code. Where do I find also the other number meanings?

[Chris Vail]

That code probably has meaning for Informix, but not for Unix. Unix returns codes 0, 1 or 2.

The general answer to this question is to look in /usr/include/sys/errno.h for the matching value BUT it is up to the developer to exit with meaningful result code. 142 is not a defined UNIX errno; you need to contact the software vendor.

[Roger Crettol]

Don't know if this applies, but some shells will return an exit code of 128+signalNumber if a process was killed - in your case, a kill -14 (SIGALRM)
