Fail job based on output

[Mike Smith]

I'm pretty new to Rundeck. I have a simple 1 step job that runs a powershell script. If the script can't do it's task it returns false. The job is marked as a success. I'm playing with error handling, but that doesn't seem to do what I want. Can I mark the job failed based on the output of my script?

If your script generates a non-zero exit status, the job will fail.  “return $false” might be confused with “exit 0” from outside PowerShell (because $false -eq 0), meaning “success”.

Thanks for the reply. I removed the output (just echoing the parameters) and added Write-Output "1". The script still "succeeds".

To be clear: It’s the script’s exit status that Rundeck cares about, nothing else.  Try this:

 

if ($TheThingWereTryingToDoDidntWork) {

              exit 1

That did the trick, Thanks Ross!
