Why each option
In a FortiGate crash log, a status code of 0 signifies that a process terminated normally without any errors or unexpected issues.
An abnormal termination would typically be indicated by a non-zero status code, reflecting an error or unexpected shutdown.
While a process might close for any reason, status 0 specifically implies a *normal* and intended closure, not just 'any reason.'
A crash of scanunitd or any specific process would result in a non-zero status code, indicating a problem.
A status of 0 in crash logs is a conventional Unix/Linux exit code indicating successful execution and normal termination of a process.
Similar to C, a DHCP process crash would be indicated by a non-zero status, signifying an error.
