To find the profile file, check the value of $profile.

Add your functions with the global desgination:

Function Global:myFunction($var1,$var2){
#Do something here
Return $result
}

not working code
function send($from,$to)
{
try
{
$messageParameters = @{
smtpServer = “smtphost”
From = $from
To = $to
Subject = ”You Submitted a Job”
Body = ”You Job Chain is submitted successfully”
}
Send-MailMessage @messageParameters -BodyAsHtml
}
catch
{
write-host “======================================================================” -ForegroundColor green
write-host ’sending email is failed’ -ForegroundColor green
write-host “======================================================================” -ForegroundColor green
}
}

and the working code is

try
{
$messageParameters = @{
smtpServer = “smtphost”
From = $from
To = $to
Subject = ”You Submitted a Job”
Body = ”You Job Chain is submitted successfully”
}
Send-MailMessage @messageParameters -BodyAsHtml
}
catch
{
write-host “======================================================================” -ForegroundColor green
write-host ’sending email is failed’ -ForegroundColor green
write-host “======================================================================” -ForegroundColor green
}

That’s how I include my functions
. \\servername\scripts$\library.ps1

Do you have any idea how I can get this to work with the task scheduler?

I am currently reorganizing my scripts to your function approach.
I just want to know if you can tell me where to insert the

Start-SPAssignment -Global
Stop-SPAssignment -Global

commands. As of before, I placed the start right at the beginning of each of my scripts and the stop at the very end. Where do I place them in a .ps1 file filled with functions? Is it in each functions beginning and end or just at the beginning and end of the .ps1 file, thereby maybe encapsulating all functions?

with kind regards,
Andy

I want to place a script and all supporting files in a subfolder and then loop through each subfolder and call run.ps1. This is what I presently do with CMD files, that way when I no longer need a module we just delete the folder. Similarly if I need to add a module I just drop in a new folder. I don’t want to edit the calling script, if I can avoid it.

Here’s what I have:

$list = Get-ChildItem C:\APPS\SCRIPTS -exclude maintenance.ps1 | Sort-Object Name

foreach ($i in $list)
{
Write-Host “Processing ” $i”…”
$sScript = [STRING]$i + “\run.ps1″
# this line works
.{c:\apps\scripts00_Critical\run.ps1}
# this line doesn’t work
.{$sScript}
}

I wanted to know how to call powershell functions that I wrote asynchronously?
any ideas?

Is it possible to call a dot source file from a UNC?
