Error handling does not necessarily have to be complex. It can be as simple as checking whether the last command executed successfully:
# suppress errors by default $ErrorActionPreference = 'SilentlyContinue' # if a command runs into an error... Get-Process -Name zumsel # ...then $? is $false, and you can exit PowerShell # with a return value, i.e. 55 if (!$?) { exit 55 }
PowerShell reports back in $? whether the last command encountered an error and returns $false in such as case. Using “exit” and a positive number, you could then bail out, exit your script, and return an exit code to the caller.
