Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux Ninth Edition, April 2009

• 0—normal exit. The package halted normally, so all services are down on this
node.
• 1—abnormal exit, also known as no_restart exit. The package did not halt
normally. Services are killed, and the package is disabled globally. It is not disabled
on the current node, however.
• Timeout—Another type of exit occurs when the halt_script_timeout is exceeded. In
this scenario, the package is killed and disabled globally. It is not disabled on the
current node, however.
