I’m using Register-ScheduledJob to register job in powershell in background job I execute script. This script contains some commands like Get-Process and Write-Host command. And…
Altough every command is executed in results I don’t see outputs from write-hosts (get-Process is is ok)
Maybe someone know why?
Write-Host writes to the host, which is the app that the script is running in (PowerShell.exe for instance), so it is output explicitly to the screen, and DOES NOTHING when you’re running in a non-interactive environment. You should never use that to output data that you want to collect, only for lightweight debugging or for printing to the screen in interactive scripts.
You should generally use write-output for the data that you want to collect as output.
Although you can also use the debug/warning/error output (those are collected by the job, but not shown in the regular output).
