Answer 1

using idea from tadman

at_exit do
  if $!.nil? || ($!.is_a?(SystemExit) && $!.success?)
    print 'success'
  else
    code = $!.is_a?(SystemExit) ? $!.status : 1
    print "failure with code #{code}"
  end
end

or without Perlisms:

require 'English'

at_exit do
  if $ERROR_INFO.nil? || ($ERROR_INFO.is_a?(SystemExit) && $ERROR_INFO.success?)
    print 'success'
  else
    code = $ERROR_INFO.is_a?(SystemExit) ? $ERROR_INFO.status : 1
    print "failure with code #{code}"
  end
end
