Set Executable's Working Directory When PowerShell Remoting -


i'm using powershell remoting execute exe file on remote server. problem exe needs have working directory set directory exe in run properly. if run exe locally (on server) command prompt works fine, , if use enter-pssession (from workstation) , use start-process -filepath [pathtoexe] -workingdirectory [directorypath] works fine, if use invoke-command -computername [blah] -scriptblock [myscriptblock] or $session = new-pssession -computername [blah]; invoke-command -session $session -scriptblock [myscriptblock] (from workstation) working directory not set.

this [myscriptblock] looks like:

$scriptblock = {         param($version, $database)         $hubsyncronizerexedirectorypath = "c:\inetpublive\scheduledjobs\$version\"         $hubsyncronizerexepath = join-path $hubsyncronizerexedirectorypath 'test.exe'         set-location -path $hubsyncronizerexedirectorypath         get-location         write-output "$version $database"         start-process -filepath $hubsyncronizerexepath -workingdirectory $hubsyncronizerexedirectorypath -argumentlist '/database',$database }

i've tried using invoke-command instead of start-process, has same effect; working directory not set.

i've verified using sysinternals process explorer, right-clicking on process , choosing properties. when launch locally or use enter-pssession, command line , current directory properties set, not when using new-pssession or invoke-command computername.

enter image description here

i'm using both set-location , setting -workingdirectory, 2 typical recommended approaches setting working directory, , get-location display expected (server's local) path (e.g. c:\inetpublive\scheduledjobs\1.2.3.4). i'm guessing bug powershell (i'm using v4 on workstation , server), or maybe there's i'm missing?

update

it turns out working directory red herring (at least, think was). reason works fine if called executable command prompt.

so in invoke-command (i replaced start-process invoke-command), changing this:

& ""$hubsyncronizerexepath"" /database $database

to this:

& cmd /c ""$hubsyncronizerexepath"" /database $database

fixed problem.

thanks of suggestions guys :)

try looking @ new-psdrive , see if helps

i guess you'll want like

new-psdrive -name workingdir -psprovider filesystem -root "\\remoteserver\c$\inetpublive\scheduledjobs\1.2.3.4"

cd workingdir:

i assume should able amend script include , put in $version variable in path on new-psdrive command...

not need do, it's first thing sprang mind...

alternatively, try amending script follows:

$hubsyncronizerexedirectorypath = "\\remoteserver\c$\inetpublive\scheduledjobs\$version\"

c++ - Difference between pre and post decrement in recursive function argument -

i have following sample code used pre-decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(--c); cout << c << endl; return; } } this function give output input 4 : dp3 dp2 dp1 dp0 0 1 2 3 but when use post decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(c--); cout << c << endl; return; } } output goes in infinite loop dp4 can explain me in detail why happens ? this happens because function(c--) called same value of c , when finishes c decremented. recursively called, hence called same value no chance of return , hit stack overflow error. assume this, int x = 1, y = 0; y = x++ result y == 1 , x == 2. if y = ++x , bot x , y 2.
