df command in script is returning with incorrect error code

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • An issue exists in which the dfcommand in a ksh environment is returning high value return codes that are causing our application not to be allowed to be installed.

  • Tracing a ksh script that is using df displays the following:

   + df -kP /opt/IBM/ITM
   + 1> /dev/null 2>& 1
   + [ 38720 -eq 0 ]
  • The last line indicates that df is returning with an error code of 38720

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
  • coreutils-5.2.1-37.el4
  • ksh-20050202-0.4E.4
