Bash Script Continue On Error
cmd2 arg3 cmd3 arg4 arg5 arg6 Sometimes cmd1 can fail and that's fine, I would like to carry on and execute cmd2 and cmd3. But my bat stops at cmd1. How can I avoid this? Update for clarity - these are not other .bat files, they are exe commands. Hopefully I don't have to build a tree of .bat files just to achieve this. windows command-line batch-file share|improve this question edited Jan 3 '13 at 22:38 asked Jan 3 '13 at 22:16 ConfusedNoob 2721616 You should shell script continue on error be able to start the command using cmd /C. –Oliver Salzburg♦ Jan 3 '13 at 22:49 1 You need to show a specific code example of what is not working. Batch files normally do not terminate automatically if a command fails with an error. Batch files do terminate if there is a syntax error. If your code is exiting upon an exe error, then there must be logic in your code that is causing that behavior. –dbenham Jan 4 '13 at 14:59 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote Another option is to use the amperstand (&) cmd1 & cmd2 & cmd3 If you use a double, it only carries on if the previous command completes successfully (%ERRORLEVEL%==0) cmd1 && cmd2 && cmd3 share|improve this answer answered Jan 3 '13 at 22:35 Canadian Luke 15.5k2374124 Can I do this when passing args also?

DOS/Win9x's command.com or Win2k+'s cmd.exe? Since that makes a world of difference, could you please clarify that in an edit of your question? –Mihai Limbășan Apr 9 '09 at 14:58 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 182 down vote accepted Check the errorlevel in an if statement, and then exit /b (exit the batch file only, not the entire cmd.exe process) for values other than 0. same-executable-over-and-over.exe /with different "parameters" if %errorlevel% neq 0 exit /b %errorlevel% If you want the value of the errorlevel to propagate outside of your batch file if %errorlevel% neq 0 exit /b %errorlevel% but if this is inside a for it gets a bit tricky.

stdin, stdout, stderr Part 5 – If/Then Conditionals Part 6 – Loops Part 7 – Functions Part 8 – Parsing Input Part 9 – Logging Part 10 – Advanced Tricks Today we’ll cover return codes as the right way to communicate the outcome of your script’s execution to the world. Sadly, even skilled Windows programmers overlook the importance of return codes. Return Code Conventions By convention, command line execution should return zero when execution succeeds and non-zero when execution fails. Warning messages typically don’t effect the return code. What matters is did the script work or not? Checking Return Codes In Your Script Commands The environmental variable %ERRORLEVEL% contains the return code of the last executed program or script. A very helpful feature is the built-in DOS commands like ECHO, IF, and SET will preserve the existing value of %ERRORLEVEL%. The conventional technique to check for a non-zero return code using the NEQ (Not-Equal-To) operator of the IF command: IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ( REM do something here to address the error ) Another common technique is: IF ERRORLEVEL 1 ( REM do something here to address the error ) The ERRORLEVEL 1 statement is true when the return code is any number equal to or greater than 1. However, I don’t use this technique because programs can return negative numbers as well as positive numbers. Most programs rarely document every possible return code, so I’d rather explicity check for non-zero with the NEQ 0 style than assuming return codes will be 1 or greater on error. You may also want to check for specific error codes. For example, you can test that an executable program or script is in your PATH by simply calling the program and checking for return code 9009. SomeFile.exe IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 9009 ( ECHO error - SomeFile.exe not found in your PATH ) It’s hard to know this stuff upfront – I generally just use trial and error to figure out the best way to check the return code of the program or script I’m ca
