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. You'll need something more like: setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for %%f in (C:\Windows\*) do ( same-executable-over-and-over.exe /with different "parameters" if !errorlevel! neq 0 exit /b !errorlevel! ) Edit: You have to check the error after each command. There's no global "on error goto" type of construct in cmd.exe/command.com batch. I've also updated my code per CodeMonkey, although I've never encountered a negative errorlevel in any of my batch-hacking on XP or Vista. share|improve this answer edited Apr 4 at 16:06 DangerZone 9411821 answered Apr 9 '09 at 15:03 system PAUSE 17.4k154857 6 Is there a way to state it once for the entire file? "On error goto" or something similar? –Josh Kodroff Apr 9 '09 at 15:29 3 +1 for the negative errorlevel check. Had a script silently fail because of a negative result. –devstuff Sep 16 '10 at 4:37
