Exit status

[Isaac Bennetch]

Hello,

I'm noticing some odd behavior with offlineimap, but was hoping for a
quick sanity check before I open a bug ticket.

I've recently enabled two-factor authentication on a Gmail account, but
haven't yet set up an application-specific password yet. I expect
offlineimap to fail, and indeed I get the following exception/error/crash:

> PLAIN authentication failed: [ALERT] Application-specific password required: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=185833 (Failure)
> LOGIN authentication failed: [ALERT] Application-specific password required: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=185833 (Failure)

>     "failed:\n\t%s" % msg, OfflineImapError.ERROR.REPO)

So the odd part for me is that if I check the exit status, it's 0 --
which to me indicates success. I'm expecting a different status here to
indicate that something went wrong; does that sound correct?

Kind regards,
