wkhtmltopdf exited with non-zero code -15. error:

[rohit-taneja]

Can you tell the meaning of exit code 15 OR When will someone get this error ?

Software Info:

• OS : Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
• wkhtmltopdf : 0.12.2.1 (with patched qt)
• pdfkit : 0.6.1
• python : 3.4.3

It is recommended to try the latest version v0.12.5

After a short googling i found:

'exit status -15' means 'the process was terminated' - usually this means the computer ran out of memory and decided to kill ecm

Anyway, 0.12.2.1 is an old version, so I am closing this issue.

@Tomsgu Do we have defined exit codes for wkhtmltopdf? As Exit Codes mean different in different context. I found that Exit Code 15 means SIGTERM for process termination in Linux and I couldn't find this ran out of memory after googling. Can you please send me the link/google search term

The actual error code is 143. 128 +15, so you can find some google results here.

There are no documented exit codes. It was requested here and here is the answer. But these are exit codes in context of wkhtmltopdf (qtwebkit), not in a linux context. There is also issue #3197.
