From 0524ef9aad5e908c4062c2696a3b7a807bd494c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wieland Hoffmann Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2015 14:07:07 +0100 Subject: clip: Show an error message if xclip returns a non-zero exit code xclip will return a non-zero exit code if $DISPLAY is not set, which might happen, for example, if you're running pass in a tmux session remotely or something like that. xclip itself will also show an error message ("Can't open display") which provides enough context to figure out what the problem is. There might be other reasons for xclip to return a non-zero exit code, but the man page doesn't list them. --- src/password-store.sh | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/password-store.sh b/src/password-store.sh index 160250f..efe0f3d 100755 --- a/src/password-store.sh +++ b/src/password-store.sh @@ -131,11 +131,10 @@ clip() { # This base64 business is because bash cannot store binary data in a shell # variable.
