[coldsync-hackers] Reporting conduit errors

[John Deptuch <deptuch+cs at erato dot usask.ca>]

Hi

I'm writing a sync (dump and fetch) conduit for a calendaring program that 
our department is going to use to replace an aging Windows scheduling 
program. Writing it has been pretty painless thanks to Coldsync's excellent 
documentation and clean api. We're going to be using Coldsync running in 
daemon mode (possibly syncing over the net but I haven't tried that yet). The 
only problem that I'm having is that I can't figure out how to report an 
error on the Palm. I'm using the following:

die "501 can't open your calendar";

Coldsync show the error on the command line but the Palm reports "HotSync 
operation complete" with no errors listed when you press the Log button.

Is there any way to have an error generated on the Palm when a conduit fails? 
In order to use Coldsync in daemon mode it would be really nice to have this.

I'm using version 2.3.1 on Debian.

Thanks for your time and for an excellent program.
