How do you exit from an Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock in PowerShell? - powershell

Question

How do you exit from an invoke-command script block running on a remote server? I have tried next.
Here is my code:
$Res = Invoke-Command -Session $Ses -ArgumentList ($ROOTdir, $PARAMS.SYS, $PARAMS.main, $PARAMS.zip) -ScriptBlock {
Param($ROOTdir, $SYS, $MAIN, $ZIP)
$list | %{
$completed = $false
$retrycount = 1
while (-not $completed) {
try {
$Copytime = (Measure-Command {
Copy-Item -Path $_.FullName -Destination ($SYS.KITCHENdir) -Force -ErrorVariable copyerror
}).TotalSeconds
$completed = $true
} catch {
if ($retrycount -gt $MAIN.Retry ) {
break or exit #HOW STOP EXECUTING NEXT STEPS AND EXIT
} else {
Start-Sleep $MAIN.DelayRetry
$retrycount++
}
}
}
#IF copy bad result need stop and exit
#The final one can produce flavors here, but it does not look quite kosher
#next steps
}

I suspect you want to use the Exit keyword.
"The exit keyword is used to exit from contexts; it will exit the
(currently running) context where your code is running. This means
that if you use this keyword in a script, and launch the script
directly from your console, it will exit both the script and the
console since they're both running in the same context. However, if
you use the exit keyword in a function within the script, and call
that function from the same script, it will just exit the script and
not the entire console. The exit keyword is best used in functions,
and when those functions are called in a script. It's a great way to
terminate execution of functions."
