Setting the job status within a Perl script

[#1]

Hi, 

Not sure if this has been asked, or is possible, but I am writing a Perl script to do a number of tasks on a Cisco switch. 

However I want the job to fail if certain conditions are/are not met within the script.

So I am using an integer variable, "vlan_id". I want the job to fail if the vlan_id is not valid for any reason.

That was one example. 

Is there any perl snippet that will be able to set the job status to fail. 
Guess the 1st thing would be to find out the job number though.

This is running internally within NetMRI and not as an external API call.

Thanks

Russ

If it’s an internally running job, I believe if you just exit with non-zero status it will be considered an error and flag that job (for that device) as an error. (I didn’t try this).

 Hi John,

Works perfectly. Thanks for the quick reply

Set the exit 1 on each of my conditions.

Many thanks

Hi, You answered this some time ago and this works and flags a Red symbol with an X.

Is there anyway of exiting with a warning. e.g. Yellow triangle. Again it is an internal job.

Thanks in advance
