Powershell Exit Command
exit codes. A successful command returns a 0 while an unsuccessful one returns a non-zero value that usually can be interpreted as an Error Code. The last command executed in the function or the script determines the exit status. This document provides steps on how to return the error codes on .vb scripts, Powershell scripts and batch files. Steps Exit codes for batch files Use the command EXIT /B %ERRORLEVEL% at the end batch file exit command of the batch file to return the error codes from the batch file EXIT /B at the end of the batch file will stop execution of a batch file. use EXIT /B < exitcodes > at the end of the batch file to return custom return codes. Environment variable %ERRORLEVEL% contains the latest errorlevel in the batch file,which is the latest error codes from the last command executed. To know about Environment variable see the below note. Note: Environment variables are a set of dynamic named values that can affect the way, running processes will behave on a computer. For example, an environment variable with a standard name can store the location that a particular computer system uses to store user profile this may vary from one computer system to another. In the batch file , it is always a good practice to use environment variables instead of constant values. Since the same variable get expanded to different values on different computers. Example: Batch file for Copying File to a Folder md "C:manageengine" copy "\\sharename\foldername\samplefile.txt" "C:\manageengine" exit /b %ERRORLEVEL% Exit codes for powershell script Use the command Exit $LASTEXITCODE at the end of the powershell script to return the error codes from the powershell script. $LASTEXITCODE holds the last error code in the powershell script. It is
the DOS command "if powershell error code errorlevel n". For Windows NT4.0/2000/XP If MACRO is run from a batch file by the https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/returning-error-code-on-scripts-how-to.html command line "ttpmacro
If you want to save some time, skip reading this and just use my PowerShell Script Boilerplate. It includes an excellent batch file wrapper, argument escaping, and error code bubbling. PowerShell.exe doesn’t return http://joshua.poehls.me/2012/powershell-script-module-boilerplate correct exit codes when using the -File option. Use -Command instead. (Vote for this issue on Microsoft Connect.) This is a batch file wrapper for executing PowerShell scripts. It forwards arguments to PowerShell and correctly bubbles up the exit code (when it can). PowerShell.exe still returns a passing (0) exit code when a ParserError is thrown. Even when using -Command. exit code I haven’t found a workaround for this. (Vote for this issue on Microsoft Connect.) You can use black magic to include spaces and quotes in the arguments you pass through the batch file wrapper to PowerShell. PowerShell PowerShell is a great scripting environment, and it is my preferred tool for writing build scripts for .NET apps. Exit codes are vital in batch file exit build scripts because they are how your Continuous Integration server knows whether the build passed or failed. This is a quick tour of working with exit codes in PowerShell scripts and batch files. I’m including batch files because they are often necessary to wrap the execution of your PowerShell scripts. Let’s start easy. Say you need to run a command line app or batch file from your PowerShell script. How can you check the exit code of that process? # script.ps1 cmd /C exit 1 Write-Host $LastExitCode # 1 $LastExitCode is a special variable that holds the exit code of the last Windows based program that was run. So says the documentation. Remember though, $LastExitCode doesn’t do squat for PowerShell commands. Use $? for that. # script.ps1 Get-ChildItem "C:\" Write-Host $? # True Get-ChildItem "Z:\some\non-existant\path" Write-Host $? # False Anytime you run an external command like this, you need to check the exit code and throw an exception if needed. Otherwise the PowerShell script will keep right on trucking after a failure. # script.ps1 cmd /C exit 1 if ($La
