Error code with failed command

[ofrzeta]

When ripmime fails writing to an existing directory with insufficient permissions (e.g. missing x-bits) it prints an error message "mime.c:1484:MIME_decode_text:ERROR: cannot open out/textfile0 for writing" but still returns an exit code 0 to the shell which makes it hard to detect failure in scripts etc.

Unfortunatley this issue still exists, I have the situation that my target is a cifs share from windows, sometimes I got an error
mime.c:1416:MIME_decode_text:ERROR: cannot open /mnt/billing/textfile0 for writing
I tried also to check the exit code, but get 0.

Seems I missed this, sorry - I'll try have a look this weekend.

Try the latest git source, just added a few return code ripple-up returns; make sure you use extended-results flag.

ie, ./ripmime --extended-errors

Hi, this worked for me, I got Errorcode 255 back that should normally be 0, but I can work with this!
Many thanks!

Edit:
Need to correct, now I got always Errocode 255, instead of 0.
This is the current command:
ripmime -i - --extended-errors --no-nameless --paranoid --postfix -d /mnt/billing
In the log it looks like this:
mime.c:1416:MIME_decode_text:ERROR: cannot open /mnt/billing/textfile0 for writing
