   Non-zero error codes are unique to each program, so you'd have to check the   
   documention for the door in question to know what error condition that is   
   correlated with. Unfortuantely, many programs don't document their   
   result/error codes.

   Did you check the error level (e.g. on Windows, that's 'echo %ERRORLEVEL%')?   
   Just because no error message was displayed doesn't mean that the program   
   returned an errorlevel of 0.

   It's possible that it's not actually an error but rather indicating some other   
   state/status information. By convention, zero means "no error" and all other   
   values mean error, but in the DOS world (especially with hobby software), that   
   wasn't always true.   
      
   If you can't get the program to return a zero error level, sett its "Error Log   
   Level" to something less than "error" will prevent it from logging errors to   
   your error.log.
