How to catch exe crashes from command line

I'm doing batch-testing on our win32 c++ programs. Some of them crash. What's the best way to catch those crash from the command line and report it?

thanks

edit: answer:

1) you can't catch another process's exception from batch / command line

2) example to do it right in c#:

There is a way of catching exceptions and crashes from the command line: use ADPlus in crash mode and it will sit in the background listening for unhandled exceptions.

there are two ways to catch, 1. Have a monitoring exe running as service or process. 2. Or implement crash class in windows may be usefull

Maybe checking their return value in your script ? Of course, they have to adhere to a standard (for instance, in a unix-like os 0 = success, all else = error).
