I have a vendor that is interested in using VisualCron to automate nightly tasks instead of his current scheduling software. However, he is interested in knowing how VisualCron picks up error codes from applications. I have used conditions to read error codes from batch files extensively, but he would like to be reassured that VisualCron can read error codes from executables also. Does VisualCron get the codes from a system file somewhere, or directly from memory, or how? Knowing this will help very much.

Thank you.

As VisualCron starts the processes it has also both control of the process and access to all information. When a process have been completed we capture output and exit code information from the process object.
