Scenario

I want to invoke a rest api on daily basis with some retry mechanism in case the rest api is not available

Problem

Even when the action exits with a non zero exit code, it is not restarted.

Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\MyTasks\test" , instance "{334ca542-9459-49db-9d0a-17587c9fe171}" , action "powershell.exe" with return code 4294967245.

what I have

I have following script.ps

param ($uri)
try
{ 
    $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'Post' -Uri $uri
    Write-Host $response
}
catch
{
  Write-Host $_
  exit -1;
}

And scheduled task with following action:

powershell.exe -Command ".\script.ps1 -uri https://fooobooo/bar > aaa.log; $LASTEXITCODE"

with retstart option:

When I run the task (either on demand or on schedule),

Question

Why the task is not restarted and how to fix it?

I'm attaching the exported task as well:
