Exit Codes
The following table lists the exit codes that are returned when the Unified Agent completes the scan.
These exit codes are also available after the process ends, in the environment's last command's return value variable
(Linux: $?, PowerShell: $LASTEXITCODE, Batch: %ERRORLEVEL%)
Exit Code | Exit Message | Description |
---|---|---|
0 | SUCCESS | Scan completed successfully. |
-1 | ERROR | General error has occurred. |
-2 | POLICY_VIOLATION | One or more of the scanned components violates an Organization or Product level policy. |
-3 | CLIENT_FAILURE | Client-side error has occurred. |
-4 | CONNECTION_FAILURE | The agent was unable to establish a connection to the Mend application server (e.g., due to a blocked Internet connection). |
-5 | SERVER_FAILURE | Server-side error has occurred (e.g., a malformed request or a request that cannot be parsed was received). |
-6 | PRE_STEP_FAILURE | One of the package manager's prerequisite steps (e.g., npm install, bower install, etc.) failed. |
-100 | EUA NOTICE | Analysis will commonly display the following EUA code at successful completion: [EUA000] Analysis completed successfully. The Unified Agent returns a [-100] exit code if the analysis reported an exit code other than [EUA000]. |
Exit Codes in Bash
The exit codes Mend returns in the Bash command language should be treated as 'x' modulo 256:
Exit code 0 is equivalent to code 0 (0 mod 256 = 0)
Exit code -1 is equivalent to code 255 (-1 mod 256 = 255)
Exit code -2 is equivalent to code 254 (-2 mod 256 = 254)
Exit code -3 is equivalent to code 253 (-3 mod 256 = 253)
Exit code -4 is equivalent to code 252 (-4 mod 256 = 252)
Exit code -5 is equivalent to code 251 (-5 mod 256 = 251)
Exit code -6 is equivalent to code 250 (-6 mod 256 = 250)
