Hi,

I'm trying to achieve a loop based on previous program's (exec task) exit code, with a built in timeout. E.g. "countusersondatabase.exe" will return exit code of 0 for no users or exit code >0 = users. If users>0 then warn users of shutdown, repeat the exec until users=0 or minutes elapsed >=10.

Is this possible ?

Thanks

It is easy to check the exit code by using a Condition. You should create one Job. Perhaps run it every minute with a normal time trigger. Add your Execute task. Add a dummy wait task with 0 seconds of waiting. Add a Condition set to the dummy task and check the exit code of the first task. If exit code is not 0 in then set the Condition to retry the first task.
