Issue: Sometimes the repackaging of the files doesn't end well and would hopefully be alleviated by a integrity check & another go. cbz is besides escaping the proprietary rar file format, that one can store the metadata from Comic Vine with e. Surprisingly enough there no cbr -> cbz converters out there. These files are basically your average rar and zip files, however renamed to another extension as they are used for (comic)book applications such as comicrack, qcomicbook and what not.

I understand very basic stuff, but when it comes to checking exit codes or what the adequate term is, I'm at a loss. First post, so Hi! Let me start by saying I'm a total noob regarding programming.
