I have a shell script which should start a .exe in the background:
$strPath = get-location
$block = {& $strPath"\storage\bin\storage.exe" $args}
start-job -scriptblock $block -argumentlist "-f", $strPath"\storage\conf\storage.conf"
In a preceding Question I found out that I need absolute Paths. However the $strPath variable isn't interpreted, if you look at the command:
PS Q:\mles\etl-i_test> .\iprog.ps1 --start1
Start Storage
Id Name State HasMoreData Location Command
-- ---- ----- ----------- -------- -------
37 Job37 Running True localhost & $strPath"\storage\bi...
How can I fix this?
Edit: I understand I need to pass the path as an argument, and how? Something like:
$block = {& $args[0]"\storage\bin\storage.exe" $args[1] $args[2]}
start-job -scriptblock $block -argumentlist $strPath, "-f", $strPath"\storage\conf\storage.conf"
?
