| | How to pass the name of a PowerShell script as a command line para How to pass the name of a PowerShell script as a command line parameter to be run by anther PowerShell script -- or -- How can I call another PowerShell script from a PowerShell script, when the name of the script to be called is not known until runtime. Eg. .... # If the specified command is a PowerShell script, run it with the current server as its only argument. if ((Get-Item $fileToRun).Extension -eq '.ps1') { . {".\$fileToRun"} \\$svr } # If the specified command is anything other than a PowerShell script, run it with the current server as its only argument. else { cmd /c $fileToRun \\$svr .... I can get it to work if I hard code in the name of the PS script, but the PS script name needs to be a variable since it will passed in as a command line parameter at runtime. Any ideas appreciated. |
