Can you tell if command line filebot fails?

Like the subject says, can you tell if the command line version fails in any programatical way? If not it would be great if it returned 0 or 1, or anything like that. So that you could do something like this (obviously not a great example but I hope you get my point
)
Code: Select all
res=`filebot -rename .`
if [ $res = 0 ]; then
echo "there was an error"
else
rm -rf .
fi

It does return -1 on error, anything that aborts the whole program flow anyway. If the input set can only partially processed that's not a cause for aborting the whole thing.
For exact error handling I'll need to write a filebot/groovy script:
http://www.filebot.net/script.html#functions
You'll have the input fileset and rename(...) will give you a set of processed File objects that you can check for integrity or error logic you want.
PS: If you wanna do any kinda scripting related to filebot, best to do it with groovy right away.

I see, but i assume that a "Fail" is not regarded as an error then because i just got the whole set of text lines in return then.
Anyway, I'll write it in groovy then, just didn't want to have unnecessary script files
Thank you!
