call a Powrshell script

[paetzold@…]

Hello,

I think that the example .ini file is wrong.
the line
check_test= cmd /c echo "scripts\ok.ps1" | powershell.exe -command -
have to be changed to
;check_test= cmd /c echo "scripts\ok.ps1;exit($lastexitcode)" | powershell.exe -command -

The reason is, that the servicestate ist alway "warning" and don´t get critical if the script ok.ps1 returns a value of 2.

If the powershell console returns the value to the calling instance than the state gets critical if the scripts returns with value 2.

Did a bit of digging and came up with this:

$host.SetShouldExit($exitcode)

or in your case:

$host.SetShouldExit(4)

Seems to work...

Interestingly enough doing exit does NOT work cf:

test.ps1
write-host "Test"
exit 4

Then:

C:\>powershell -noprofile -command "Write-output Test; exit 4"
Test
C:\>echo %ERRORLEVEL%
4

...

C:>powershell -noprofile test.ps1
Test
C:\>echo %ERRORLEVEL%
1
