Return code of `tau_exec`

[spoutn1k]

Hey everyone,

I am using tau_exec in a script and I relied on its returncode to check the status of the previous command. I encountered this case:

~> tau_exec non-existent-command
tau_exec: non-existent-command: command not found
~> echo $?
0

I expected it to be more than 0, as:

~> tau_exec /
/home/users/jskutnik/tau2/x86_64/bin/tau_exec: line 1379: /: Is a directory
~> echo $?
126

And the standard behaviour of such commands reflects this:

~> time non-existent-command
bash: non-existent-command: command not found...

real    0m0.226s
user    0m0.008s
sys 0m0.008s
~> echo $?
127

The returncode is empty here so I wanted to check if this was intended before doing anything.

Thanks !
