exec_async calling powershell and passing script parameters
I'm trying to trigger a powershell script to run with passed parameters on pattern matching the contents of $message. The method itself works, I just cannot work out how to pass parameters to the script I'm calling.
<Input internal>
Module im_internal
Exec if ($message =~ /nxlog-ce-2.10.2150 started/)
exec_async("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe", "-ExecutionPolicy", "Bypass", "-command", "C:\Scripts\nxlog_exec_async_test.ps1");
</Input>
My working test configuration is shown above. The script called nxlog_exec_async_test.ps1 is successfully called from an elevated shell, if there is no parameter passed in. exec_async("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe", "-ExecutionPolicy", "Bypass", "-command", "C:\Scripts\nxlog_exec_async_test.ps1 test");
I've tried passing the parameter "test" in the following ways, but this doesn't work either i.e.: exec_async("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe", "-ExecutionPolicy", "Bypass", "-command", "C:\Scripts\nxlog_exec_async_test.ps1", "test"); exec_async("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe", "-ExecutionPolicy", "Bypass", "-command", "C:\Scripts\nxlog_exec_async_test.ps1 test");
The powershell script simply echos a line out to file, and the first line is: $testparm==$args[0] Which is assigning the first parameter to the variable $testparm
Can anyone help? Cheers, Phil
This was a mixture of my bad typos in both the line and called powershell script...
The following works:
exec_async("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe", "-ExecutionPolicy", "Bypass", "-command", "C:\Scripts\nxlog_exec_async_test.ps1 test");
The parameter test is passed to the powershell script as desired.
