Re: fork with exit [some integer] seems to not change exitstatus in Process.wait2, ruby 2.2.4

Thanks Eric and Marvin. I moved it to a script and I get the expected
results.

Here's the script and the results.

Thanks again.

-Kelly

script:
-------------

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
puts "ruby version: #{RUBY_VERSION}"

pid = fork do
  sleep 1
  exit 55
end

returned_pid, status = Process.wait2

puts "pid: #{pid}, returned_pid: #{returned_pid}, status:
#{status.inspect}, exitstatus: #{status.exitstatus}"

pid = fork do
  sleep 1
  exit 0
end

returned_pid, status = Process.wait2

puts "pid: #{pid}, returned_pid: #{returned_pid}, status:
#{status.inspect}, exitstatus: #{status.exitstatus}"

--------


output

------------

$ ./test.rb
ruby version: 2.4.1
pid: 91480, returned_pid: 91480, status: #<Process::Status: pid 91480
exit 55>, exitstatus: 55
pid: 91481, returned_pid: 91481, status: #<Process::Status: pid 91481
exit 0>, exitstatus: 0
