From: David Arcari Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2019 14:34:39 +0000 (-0500) Subject: tools/power turbostat: return the exit status of a command X-Git-Tag: v4.9.170~39 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?p=people%2Farne_f%2Fkernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=b019294576e650271c3eff44d0fe53c58bcafcd8 tools/power turbostat: return the exit status of a command [ Upstream commit 2a95496634a017c19641f26f00907af75b962f01 ] turbostat failed to return a non-zero exit status even though the supplied command (turbostat ) failed. Currently when turbostat forks a command it returns zero instead of the actual exit status of the command. Modify the code to return the exit status.
