Notes:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

The program ensures correct handling of the script’s exit status by resetting the SIGCHLD signal to default.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The following is an example specification that should be placed in a gp_test procedure. If ‘my_script’ exits with an ‘exit 0’, then the ‘success_path’ would be the next mode executed in the the gp_test procedure. However, if ‘my_script exits with an ‘exit 7’, then the ‘failure_path’ would be the next mode executed by the procedure.<\/p>\n
