Hi,
We have a problem in Linux (GNU/Linux 3.10.0-693.1.1.el7.x86_64) with a shell script returning 267 as return code. The script, load_flag.sh is called from main_script.sh (both script samples given below). The exit code from load_flag.sh is used to decide whether to continue execution of main_script.sh . Exit code is sometimes coming as 267 and main_script.sh is not executing. This issue is not happening in every run, but sporadically. Any idea, why we are getting the exit code as 267 and the possibel solution for this.
#main_script.sh
#!/bin/ksh
##### run the environment setup script
. /path/setup.sh
##LOADER_HOME and other variables are set in setup.sh
$LOADERS_HOME/load_flag.sh ABC
LOAD_FLAG_ABC=$?
if [ ! $LOAD_FLAG_ABC = 0 ]
then
echo `date `' LOAD_FLAG_ABC: ' $LOAD_FLAG_ABC
exit 0
fi
....
<<script continues>>
....
....
....
#load_flag.sh
#!/bin/ksh
SYSTEM_NAME=$1
