Original report: When trying kill a process with insufficient privileges (see blow), pkill displays the error message “... failed: Operation not permitted”, but returns 0. Surely it should return 3? $ pkill syslogd ; echo $? pkill: killing pid 373 failed: Operation not permitted 0 Return value 0 means one of more things matched. For a pgrep (which shares code with pkill) this makes sense, there was a match. It seems wrong for pkill to return 0 when it in fact could not do what you told it to. However return value 3 means a fatal error and it's not fatal. Looking at other programs when trying to kill things it cannot kill. shell kill returns 1, procps kill returns 1, killall returns 1, skill returns 0 (and says it was successful!, ah well poor old skill) The consensus seems to be that you return 1 if you cannot kill it, even if you found it. In other words the return value for both not found and not able to kill it is the same. pkill only returns 0 if something was killed. This means we found a match AND the kill() system call worked too. References: https://bugs.debian.org/852758 Signed-off-by: Craig Small <csmall@enc.com.au>
