I DO like it... it's a little tricky to learn any new language, but it is really powerful.
I have a Server (Windows Server 2003...) and occasionally something happens when a process crashes. Based on that... I thought maybe I could setup some sort of means for reporting to my email (which coincidently, I get my work email on my phone... so voila..)
Heres what I used.. and its all under 15 lines of code... some good potential here
----------------------------
---------------------------$FROM = "SERVER@work.com"
$TO = "RCUMMINS@WORK.COM"$SMTP_Server = "Exchange.Dot.Com"$smtp = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SMTP_Server)$SUBJECT = "Server Health Report"$x = Get-EventLog "Application" -EntryType 'Error' -After (Get-Date).addHours(-1) |Where-Object {$_.Source -eq 'Application Hang'}if($x){$xx = $x | select TimeGenerated, Message | Out-String$smtp.Send($FROM, $TO, $SUBJECT, $xx)}
So to setup the scheduled task... I just had to do a quick google for the hidden window option...
---------------------------
---------------------------
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -WindowStyle "Hidden" -Command ".'C:\Path\To\Scripts\Process Checking.ps1'"
That was enjoyable.
