bad news here, at least partially... :)
so the exec commands in freerouter does not have exit status,
but the convention that they output nothing if everything went ok...

it's a good observation that the cmd2nd now gets blindly executed,
but it's easy-peasy to check if the previous command printed anything...

any opinion?
