Did it throw an error?
Did it do what it was supposed to do?

Whether or not the command reports a successful completion depends on the command. Basic commands usually operate on the principle of "no news is good news."

In agreement with all of the above.

Overall more information is needed about the specific requirements you need with respect to any given cmdlet or script.

Basically, as I understand your post you simply want to know that there were no errors and what you wanted to have happen actually happened.

Likely a bit tricky....

And better fitted to scripts I think versus just running an one liner cmdlet.

====

Powershell has error handling and exception capabilities....

try

catch

finally

Looking into this a little more, I ran into this https://www.saotn.org/powershell-return-value-exit-code-or-errorlevel-equivalent/

Basically after the command you want to run, you need to add this:

if($?) {
    # Do something if successful
}

As an example if you really want to run this in the command line itself and not through a script:

cp file_1.txt file_1_copy.txt;if($?) { echo "Success!"}
