Command line interface
is needed to start a syncronization. It is the first thing that gives you control over the process itself.As FoobarSync is a Visual Basic Script, your PC needs to have Windows Scripting Host installed (WSH). To run FoobarSync, you must add cscript as prefix to your command line.
Exit Code
The script will pass an exit code (also called errorlevel or error code) with the value 1 back to the command prompt, if there was an error. The script then ends in a controled way. Someone will find that useful for futher automation with other tools. But if there are errors which make the interpreter abort the script (messed configuration file, bugs in my code), the exit code will be 0.FoobarSync General Syntax
