nothing
nothing - do nothing and succeed (or fail with a requested exit code)
similar to TRUE(1) and FALSE(1) but more
usage
- optionally: rename executable to any name you like (i.e.
Adobe Updater.exe) - optionally set env var
<EXECUTABLE-NAME>_EXIT=<exitcode>. Name is uppercase, without non-alphanumeric characters and without file extension (i.e.ADOBEUPDATER) - run the executable. (If the env var isn't set it will exit with
0).
Example (Windows cmd):
$ move nothing.exe "Adobe Updater.exe"
$ set ADOBEUPDATER_EXIT=99
$ "Adobe Updater.exe"
$ echo %errorlevel%
99
avoiding security confirmations
The Windows and Mac executables from the releases are codesigned and should be trusted by most anti-virus tools.
On MacOS you still may need to remove the quarantine attribute after download to avoid the one-time "it's downloaded, trust it?" popup:
xattr -c <file>
why?
I quickly needed a renamable, code-signed dummy .exe on windows to replace a misbehaving execuable on many machines.
