You're not missing anything; I wasn't clear. I wasn't sure if raise or
sys.exit(1) were the preferred ways, or if there was some other way I
didn't know about. I've never had to force a script to halt before, at
least not one I mean to schedule to run on its own once a day, so wanted to
check that those are indeed the recommended ways.
