[Bug 613940] [NEW] euca-terminate-instances returns success on bogus input

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: euca2ools

$ euca-terminate-instances i-abcdefg && echo good || echo bad:$?
good
$ xc2 terminate-instances i-abcdefg && echo good || echo bad:$?
Client.InvalidInstanceID.Malformed: Invalid id: "i-abcdefg"
bad:1

If you pass euca-terminate-instances a bogus string that starts with
'i-' it will return success.  ec2-terminate-instances (ec2-api-tools)
will return a failure message and exit status of non-zero.
