Windows BAT/CSCRIPT script job return code under LSF

Troubleshooting


Problem

How to confirm Windows job return code under LSF?

Resolving The Problem

There are two methods to confirm LSF Windows job return code in batch script.

1, BAT script

2, CSCRIPT script

For example, the following two scripts and related jobs will get the same results:


C:\>type ec255.bat
exit /b -1
C:\> bsub ec255.bat
Job <935> is submitted to default queue <normal>.

C:\>type return255.vbs
WScript.Quit -1
C:\> bsub cscript return255.vbs
Job <936> is submitted to default queue <normal>.

That is these two jobs will have the same LSF job exit code 255.

These two methods will be very simple and useful when you test your LSF configuration and you expect your Windows job returns a certain code under LSF.
