Exit codes

[bottomleypotts]

Is it possible to determine the exitcode that a powershell script exits with?

[spl]

a simple explanation

Code Select Expand

# Run the script
.\my-script.ps1

# Check the exit code
if ($LASTEXITCODE -eq 0) {
  # Script was successful
  Write-Host "The script ran successfully"
} else {
  # Script failed
  Write-Host "The script failed with exit code $LASTEXITCODE"
}
