exit powershell scriptS when imbricated

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I have a script main.ps1 called with parameters "-environment PRD" or "-environment&nbsp; "PILOT".&nbsp;This main script calls a toolbox.ps1 script which is like this :&nbsp;switch ($environment) {&nbsp; &nbsp; "PILOT" {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; #define PILOT vars&nbsp; &nbsp; }&nbsp; &nbsp; "PRD" {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; #define PRD vars&nbsp; &nbsp; }&nbsp; &nbsp; default {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; write-host "!!! No Environment provided !! Closing the script."&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; exit&nbsp; &nbsp; }}&nbsp;This exit seems to only close the toolbox.ps1 script but not the main.ps1&nbsp;How can I achieve this ?&nbsp;Thank you.

Hi&nbsp;AndySvints&nbsp;,&nbsp;it seems to work indeed, though it is "quick n dirty" as you mentionned 🙂&nbsp;I'll use this method for the moment and see if I can find something cleaner in the future.&nbsp;Thank you.

Hello&nbsp;John_Dodo,One of the quick &amp; dirty and pretty simple option would be to throw an exception.Something like this:switch ($environment) {
            "PILOT" {
                #define PILOT vars
            }
            "PRD" {
                #define PRD vars
            }
            default {
                throw "!!! No Environment provided !! Closing the script."
            }
        }It will generate terminating error and will end you child and main scripts.&nbsp;Hope that helps.Thank you.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
