Linux doesn't have batch files.  Do you mean a shell script?

I'm not following you.  How can a return value be a unit of
measurement?  Are you saying that if the return code is greater than
256, its coming back as 1 ?  If so, how did you determine this?
Perhaps your java code doesn't have return codes greater than 256?

Can you post the code that is doing this?
