I'd like to connect to a remote host, run 2 commands and return the seperate responses. However I'd like to do this as part of one scriptblock. I've done this before with one command but no joy with two. For example having
gc "C:\test.txt"
and
get-webservice | ? {$_.Name -eq "foo"}
combined into a scriptblock and passing that scriptblock to Invoke-Command and extracting the individual responses from that call.
One option is to load your results into a hash table, the return that.
$Scriptblock =
{
$response = @{}
$response.dir = gc "C:\test.txt"
$response.service = get-webservice | ? {$_.Name -eq "w32time"}
$response
}
$result = &$Scriptblock
This eliminates any ambiguity in the results of any of the commands returns a null.
Not entirely sure I understand your problem, have you tried like this:
$Workload = {
$TestText = Get-Content "C:\test.txt"
$WebServices = Get-WebService | ? {$_.Name -eq "foo"}
$TestText,$WebServices
}
$FirstJob,$SecondJob = Invoke-Command -Session $remoteSession -ScriptBlock $Workload
function scriptBlockContent ($myFile)
{
$TestText = Get-Content $myFile
$WebServices = Get-WebService | ? {$_.Name -eq "foo"}
$TestText,$WebServices
}
$FirstJob,$SecondJob = Invoke-Command -Session $remoteSession -ScriptBlock ${function:scriptBlockContent} -ArgumentList $myFile
