The problem is not that 0 shows up as "Success", which I expect. The problem is that the non-0 does, too. This is in the Step Statistics view:

Note that Run 1, with an exit code of 127, is listed as "Successful". That does not seem right to me. The record for that row is:

postgres=# select * from pgagent.pga_jobsteplog where jslid = 1;
-[ RECORD 1 ]------------------------------
jslid | 1
jsljlgid | 1
jsljstid | 1
jslstatus | s
jslresult | 127
jslstart | 2011-12-15 16:49:25.038705-08
jslduration | 00:00:00.024641
jsloutput |

Which makes me think that either `rc`is not what gets put into jsresult, or that `steps->GetString(wxT("jstonerror"))` is returning "s", too. Or that I’m completely misunderstanding something, of course. :-)
