get return code from plink?

In a DOS batch script, I'm running a single command on a remote (also windows) computer using plink. Formerly, this command was only run on the local machine, and was relying on the return code to determine success. Is there a way to easily get this information back through plink?

What is plink command?

Plink (PuTTY Link) is a command-line connection tool similar to UNIX ssh . It is mostly used for automated operations, such as making CVS access a repository on a remote server.

Does plink use SSH?

More typically Plink is used with the SSH protocol, to enable you to talk directly to a program running on the server.

How do I exit a Plink session?

If you are running plink then at the end of your command, create a new line and use the command EXIT and that should do it.

That's not possible with plink. The current consensus is to have the remote script echo its exit code to a log file, then use pscp to transfer the log file to the local machine.
