| - | Once you find out what was the result of the script, you can perform any action you like. E.g. after evaluating exit code of WinSCP, you can send a "success" or "error" email. For that use any command-line email client you like, e.g. [[https://www.glob.com.au/sendmail/|sendmail]].((When installing sendmail, you can ignore all references to ''/usr/lib/'' (or ''c:\usr\lib'') directories in its installation instructions, as you will be running ''sendmail.exe'' directly from a Windows batch file. Just place sendmail files to any convenient location, e.g. along with WinSCP.)) | + | Once you find out what was the result of the script, you can perform any action you like: print a message, [[script_email|send an email]], etc. |
