From ba53d850252165ba96e7abc6e7dd0648b40ee37b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hutterer Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 10:57:12 +1000 Subject: syndaemon: document exit codes and change them to fall into categories. Changing pid file creation failure to same exit code that fork() failure uses. Changing XRECORD init failure to unique code. This way clients can trap exit code 4 and re-start syndaemon without the -R flag.
