Need return code for automatic update script

Question

I have written an automatic update script for SVN (tortoiseSVN) like this : START TortoiseProc.exe /command:update /path:"my_path" /closeonend:0. After the update is completed, I will start my weblogic. But I need a way to find whether the svn update has resulted in any conflicts so that I will not start weblogic in that case. Is there any way or any return codes that I can check that will help me in this case.

TortoiseSVN documentation about automation:

Important Remember that TortoiseSVN is a GUI client, and this automation guide shows you how to make the TortoiseSVN dialogs appear to collect user input. If you want to write a script which requires no input, you should use the official Subversion command line client instead.

See also this similar question: How do I not display the dialog on SVN Tortoise Commit?

So use the svn command line client. But be aware, that the command line client also has no really specific exit codes:

The "svn" command-line tool doesn't return much specific info in the exit code, just "0 == worked" / "1 == failed".

The information is in the messages printed out prior to failure. An extensive, but not exhaustive, list of the key strings in those messages may be found at:
