How to prevent error message when AppPool is already stopped

Question

I am running the following cmd on my MSBuild using PsEXEC.

%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd stop apppool /apppool.name:MyAppPool

If the MyAppPool is already stopped, and try to stop again, I am getting error message.

ERROR ( message:Application pool "MyAppPool" already stopped.

This is stopping my build. How to handle this situation?

If MyAppPool is already started and issue a start again, no error message appears.

Just add "| exit 0"

%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd stop apppool /apppool.name:MyAppPool  | exit 0
