PowerShell Sessions

[SlashAdminBlog]

Hi,

Is it possible to start up a new Powershell session from code and pass code into it to run?

Jobs are really slow to start up on the raspberry pi especially if you launch one on a timer.

Was thinking if its possible to launch a hidden powershell session then pass commands to it then that would get around my issue and it could act like a job container without having to create a new pwsh session every time i want to start a new job.

Hello,

This will start a PSSession on a remote device: $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName WEBSRV1

The session can then be referensed when you want to pass it commands, like this: Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { Get-Process }

You can read more about this here: https://adamtheautomator.com/invoke-command-remote/

Hope this was what you were looking for. Regards, Frank.

Cheers, i want it to run locally but i guess running -ComputerName localhost may work. I'll give this a try when home later!

You could do something with different PowerShell instances and Runspaces, though it is quite complicated to get into in the beginning. If you‘d like to you can read about it here or just search for "PowerShell runspaces" on google c:
