Exit code when 'nothing to do!'

[jbnicolai]

When using fpp programmatically the only way to detect it fails is parsing stdout for nothing to do!.

Would a PR introducing a failure indicating exit code be accepted?

I wouldnt exactly call this an "error exit" but i can see why itd be useful. Let me see if this can easily be done since that output comes from the script we generate...

[pcottle:~/Desktop:]$ echo "exit 1" > ./test.sh
[pcottle:~/Desktop:]$ sh ./test.sh && echo "hi"
[pcottle:~/Desktop:]$ sh ./test.sh || echo "hi"
hi

ah yeah should work!

[pcottle:~/Dropbox (Facebook)/wip/PathPicker:master]$ ./fpp && echo "worked"
Using old result...
nothing to do!
[pcottle:~/Dropbox (Facebook)/wip/PathPicker:master]$ ./fpp || echo "failed"
Using old result...
nothing to do!
failed
