[chef] knife ssh Return Values

[Mike Tewner < >]

Hi Guys!

We're using "knife ssh" to deploy parts of our application. It seems, though, that knife ssh returns "0" if it can't connect to the host: 

:/tmp$ knife  ssh 'name:MikeEnv01C1' 'ls /etc'

MikeEnv01C1 fstab                  makedev.d           rmt

.

.

.

:/tmp$ echo $?

0

... and to a host which was brought down:

:/tmp$ knife  ssh 'name:SteveEnv02C' 'ls /etc'                         

echo $?

WARNING: Failed to connect to  -- Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2)

:/tmp$ echo $?

0

:/tmp$ knife -v

Chef: 11.4.0

Is this "As Designed"?
