Hi, I try to get recently started processes:
 gps | sort starttime | select name,starttime
The problem is that PoSh loses the starttime column when the list is sorted
in ascending order. I think the problem is that the get-process can't access

I have scheduled task that runs a batch file every 10 minutes.
The problem is that whenever the job runs, it shoes an empty black DOS
command prompt screen. Is there any way to make scheduled task not to show

It's a bit of a pain in the a.s that if you do something like:

etc (don't need how arrays work, etc :P)

I want to repair a batch of file.
The repairing time may be short or long.
So I have to wait a time to move the repaired file to the source file.
But I have difficulty to get the end time of the command running.

I wonder at all of the current software carrying the PowerShell name. The
list includes programs written for Windows by other than Microsoft.
Strange choice. Much confusion ahead.
I think it is a shame too since Microsoft Command Shell and MSH were doing a

I'm new at scripting and I need some help from you guys.
I need a script in which I can set the change password at next logon for
different users in different OU's every 30 days.
Example:

Does anyone have a script that closes programs. I want to close 3 or 4

I want to understand the correct sequence to create a runspace to invoke
cmdlets from c# code. As per MSDN, the single line RunspaceInvoke invoker =
new RunspaceInvoke(); should build all data structures that are needed for
the runspace and for invoking commands but the sample ...

repro steps:
