Although the man page does not mention the exit status, I think
it's wrong that 'chcpu' exits OK when an action failed or
when a bad CPU number was specified:

   $ ./chcpu -d 0 ; echo $?
   CPU 0 is not hot pluggable
   0

   $ ./chcpu -g 3 ; echo $?
   CPU 3 is not configurable
   0

   $ ./chcpu -e 4 ; echo $?
   CPU 4 does not exist
   0

WDYT?

Have a nice day,
Berny
