I have (a long time ago) made the following .tex file:
% christmasTree.tex: creates a to-do Christmas tree

It makes a 'Christmas tree' made of boxes. What I would like is to put
some text, which are given as parameters, into the 13 boxes. But when
a text does not fit into it's box, I do not want the PDF to be
generated and receive an error code. Is this possible?

Changed this to:
\setvariables
[tree]
[1='Some very long text to try to get to much text for the box to fit in. There is a lot of room. Just some other text to finish it of. With this line added, there is to much text.',
2=Two,
3=Three,
4=Four,
5=Five,
6=Six,
7=Seven,
8=Eight,
9=Nine,
10=Ten,
11=Eleven,
12=Twelf,
13=Thirtheen
]
That comes quit a bit to what I want. When I use this and then I
execute:
texexec --batchmode --purge --silent testTree.tex
an error is signalled. When I remove the last sentence from the first
parameter, it signals success.
My only remaining problem is that I want to use parameters to input
the values for the boxes. How would I do that?

I have a solution for the parameters. I work with Linux, so I just
could make a BASH script, which generates the tex file with the filled
in parameters. There is only one problem left. I want to know what the
(first) parameter which is wrong. I could determine the first wrong
one with 4 new calls to texexec (starting with a call where only the
first seven parameters are filled), but is there a way to give back a
return value that signifies which parameter was wrong? I could not
find documentation about \forcequitjob. Is there no documentation, or
did I look wrong?
