    1 1 1
    10.145.255.3:13182 -> 10.145.255.4:1556
    10.145.255.3:45608 -> 10.145.255.4:1556
    10.145.255.3:52908 -> 10.145.255.4:1556
    [root@jordan ~]# echo $?
    0
    # bptestbpcd -client acmeX -connect_timeout 4
    <16>bptestbpcd main: Function ConnectToBPCD(acmeX) failed: 48
    <16>bptestbpcd main: client hostname could not be found
    client hostname could not be found

    # echo $?
    48
