200	SUCCESS	Completed with results
204	NO CONTENT	Completed, but there were no results, so no output file
400	BAD REQUEST	There was a problem with your command
500	INTERNAL ERROR	Something went wrong

In additionaaddition, the last two lines in the output contain the final job status, and the location of the output file (if any) on disk.
