Error Codes for Start and Stop Subcommands

For Application Server 7, the error codes for the start and stop subcommands of the asadmin command were based on the desired end state. For example, for asadmin start-domain, if the domain was already running, the exit code was 0 (success). If domain startup failed, the exit code was 1 (error).

For Application Server 8.2, the exit codes are based on whether the commands execute as expected. For example, the asadmin start-domain command returns exit code 1 if the domain is already running or if domain startup fails. Similarly, asadmin stop-domain returns exit code 1 if the domain is already not running or cannot be stopped.
