Description

When using tomcat6.exe from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk/res/procrun/, the //US// command always returns 6:

tomcat6.exe //US//servicename --Startup=auto

returns exit code 6 even though the command successfully changed the service Startup Type to auto.

From the source code, it looks as if docmdUpdateService just never sets the variable rv to TRUE anywhere, and the only return statements are "return FALSE" (when the code can't get a handle to the service) and return rv at the end.

When we invoke this from our software's installer, we'd like to be able to check the exit code and trust whether it means success or failure, but as it stands we have to not check the exit code or check things other than the exit code to test for success.
