I am running a task from inside a batch file like this:
schtasks /run /tn TASK_NAME
The task, in turn, executes another batch file, that may exit with an error code thus:
exit -1
Is there any way to get the exit code of the task that completed?

A:
I think ERRORLEVEL might be what you're looking for: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/errorlevel.php

That's run through the Task Scheduler Service, and not directly, so `errorlevel` is useless here.

correct, @Johannes. ERRORLEVEL is useless here.

Hmm. The question implies that the initiator of the task through Task Scheduler is a batch file, and that the task that returns -1 is a batch file. It doesn't say that the task invoked by Task Scheduler *isn't* a batch file, hence my answer assumed that it was. It would, in that case, be able to use ERRORLEVEL and pass it up to the top-level task in some way. The question asks 'how to get the exit code', and the answer is ERRORLEVEL. However, if the intent of the question was actually 'how do I pass the exit code up to the top-level initiator?' then it should probably be reworded accordingly.
