[Pw_forum] What are the return vaules of quantum espresso under different circumstaces

[Paolo Giannozzi]

Currently, 255, at least for PWscf:

!----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBROUTINE run_pwscf ( exit_status )

!----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  !
  ! ... Run an instance of the Plane Wave Self-Consistent Field code
  ! ... MPI initialization and input data reading is performed in the
  ! ... calling code - returns in exit_status the exit code for pw.x,
  ! ... returned in the shell. Values are:
  ! ... * 0: completed successfully
  ! ... * 1: an error has occurred (value returned by the errore() routine)
  ! ... * 2-127: convergence error
  ! ...   * 2: scf convergence error
  ! ...   * 3: ion convergence error
  ! ... * 128-255: code exited due to specific trigger
  !       * 255: exit due to user request, or signal trapped,
  !              or time > max_seconds
  ! ...     (note: in the future, check_stop_now could also return a value
  ! ...     to specify the reason of exiting, and the value could be used
  ! ..      to return a different value for different reasons)
