Newbie Question: Here-Script with PowerShell

Hallo,

I'm new to this newsgroup and I'm new to PowerShell. I've been using a script
under HP-UX to feed a program (laufdaten.exe) with some input wich then
produces a file called md_daten wich then is read by another program
(mdlauf.exe) wich produces some more or less important output. The cpu-
seconds used by mdlauf.exe are measured. Here is the a part of the script:

,------------- [ Unix Here-Script ] -------------
|
| laufdaten.exe << !
| 0
| 0.5
| 3
| 132000
| '''/users/hemmer/mds_neu/TEST/md_erg0.5-7'''
| '''/users/hemmer/mds_neu/TEST/orte0.5-7'''
| '''/users/hemmer/mds_neu/TEST/enrg0.5-7'''
| '''/users/hemmer/mds_neu/TEST/polar0.5-7'''
| !
| time mdlauf2.exe
|
`------------------------------------------------

Is this possible with powershell too? And how can I measure the cpu-time used
by a command with powershell?


Thanx in advance,
Raymund

Hi,

You can use the following to assess how long a command or script has taken:

Measure-Command {c:\scripts\test.ps1}

news:6EB38534-CC20-4465-96F9-B0CF898FDE63@xxxxxx If you want to focus on the total processor time consumed by the process,
you can read the property of the process object. You can do this in several
ways such as:

$myapp = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start("<path to my app>\mdlauf.exe")
while (! $myapp.HasExited) {}
$myapp.TotalProcessorTime

Hope that helps,

Thanxmuch but I think this gives the real-time a command has taken not the
cpu-time. If there are several commands hunting for cpu-time, the real-time
could be much longer.

Thanxmuch! One Question concerning TotalProcessorTime: does this show on a
multi-cpu-system the sum of all cpu-time used on all cpus by the app?

I can only assume it does but won't formally say yes. The MSDN documentation
for the property doesn't say anything about it.

Yes, this is what I've also read in MSDN docs.

I've tested my app with "Measure-Command" and your solution. And with
TotalProcessorTime I've got 50% more cpu-time than real-time with Measure-
Command on a dual-core system. The app is Fortran- and C-code compiled with
Intel's Compilers using multi-threading-libs.
