Greetings,

Should init:stop/1 behave the same way in an escript as in a normal
module?

I have this escript(*). When I run it from Unix shell:

sekic1152 [3:01pm] [/home/eleberg] -> ./t.erl
sekic1152 [3:02pm] [/home/eleberg] -> echo $?
0

The same (comment out line 1) program when run from Erlang shell:
2> c(t).
{ok,t}
3> t:main(asd).
ok
4> sekic1152 [3:01pm] [/home/eleberg] -> echo $?
1


I think it is a bug that the status is different from 1 in the escript.

My work around is to use erlang:halt/1

(*)
#! /usr/bin/env escript

-module( t ).
-export( [main/1] ).

main( _ ) -> init:stop( 1 ).
