I'm getting a little crazy already. I have a ps1 script that works perfectly in powershell ISE but when I tell it to run directly with powershell or from a scheduled task it runs only once and closes (I have programmed to place the -noexit parameter in the scheduled task). The code is as follows:
$MonitorFolder = "\sharedfolder"
$MonitorStopFile = "monitor.die"
$smtpServer = "xxx"
$smtpFrom = "xxx"
$smtpTo = "xxx"
#$smtpSubject = "Asignacion tarea LDA"
$smtpSubject = "Asignacion tarea LDA $($MonitorFolder)."
$smtpPort = "25"
$mailparam =@{
To = $smtpTo
From = $smtpFrom
Subject = $smtpSubject
Body = $smtpBody
SmtpServer = $smtpServer
Port = $smtpPort
#Credential = $smtpCred
}
$SourceID = "MonitorFiles"
$IncomingFiles = Get-ChildItem $MonitorFolder
$smtp = New-Object -TypeName "Net.Mail.SmtpClient" -ArgumentList $smtpServer
$watcher = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher $MonitorFolder
#Files only. Default is files + directory
$watcher.NotifyFilter = [System.IO.NotifyFilters]'FileName,LastWrite'
$newFileSubscription = Register-ObjectEvent -InputObject $watcher -EventName Created -SourceIdentifier NewFileCreated -Action {
Write-Host "New file named '$($Event.SourceEventArgs.Name)' arrived in $($MonitorFolder)"
$smtpBody += "'n[$(Get-Date -Format HH:mm:ss)]'tNew file named '$($Event.SourceEventArgs.Name)' arrived in $($MonitorFolder)"
if($Event.SourceEventArgs.Name -eq $MonitorStopFile) {
Write-Host "Monitoring stopped"
#Stop monitoring
Unregister-Event -SubscriptionId $newFileSubscription.Id
#Dispose FileSystemWatcher
$watcher.Dispose()
}
$smtp.Send($smtpFrom, $smtpTo, $smtpSubject, $smtpBody)
}
I would greatly appreciate the help:)
