Previously, if execution failed, we'd log at error level both from the child and the parent, and we were using a bogus variable for the argument name: $ build/systemd-inhibit list Failed to execute : No such file or directory list failed with exit status 1. In general, we can and should assume that the program the user is calling is well behaved, so it'll log the error on its own if appropriate. So we shouldn't log on "normal errors", but only if the child is terminated by a signal. And since the program name is controlled by the user, use quotes everywhere to avoid ambiguity. Now: $ build/systemd-inhibit false (nothing) $ build/systemd-inhibit bash -c 'kill -SEGV $$' src/basic/process-util.c:895: 'bash' terminated by signal SEGV.
