Manage to get it work ...called it folder.ps1
(get-childitem z:\facsys\queue).count | out-gauge folder.pgt -refresh 0:0:1
1. my folder z:\facsys\queue currently contains greater 13000 files and will
generate more. When i 1st run folder.ps1, it takes some time to *take in*
data ...is there a *faster* command to substitute the get-childitem command
?
2. How can i put a text label machine name *into* my gauge ?
3. How can i make the chart display a *exact* number of files on the screen
via tooltip ? Currently the gauge shows an estimate value
