Return codes
HP SUM has consolidated return codes from Linux and Windows smart components into a new,
enhanced return-code mapping. These return codes determine the status of the component
installation. You can also use return codes in a script to control the execution of the script and
determine any required branching.
In Linux, the negative return codes are reported. These return codes are determined by subtracting
the negative value from 256.
