I'm trying to use Start-Job to run a command to collect security logs from some servers. I'm parsing a .ini file to get the list of servers, number of days etc.
#___Collect Logs from Servers___#
$servList = $iniContent["SERVERS"]["svr"]
$days = $iniContent["DAYS"]["days"]
$date = $(get-date -format ddMMyyyy)
$err = "Error Collecting $($logType) from $($server) or the Event Log is empty! | $(Get-Date -format g) "
$serv = $servList.Split(",")
foreach ($server in $serv){
$outfile = "D:\DCLogs\$($date)_$($server)_$logType.txt"
$ScriptBlock = cmd /c "D:\CollectLog\Dumpel.exe -f $($outFile) -l $($logType) -s $($server) -d $($days)"
Start-Job -ScriptBlock $ScriptBlock
Get-Job | Wait-Job
$file = Get-ChildItem D:\DCLogs -Filter "$($date)_$($server)*" -Name
$len = $file.length/1KB # Check LogFile Size
if ($len -eq 0){
$errCount = 1
write-output $err | Out-File $errLog -append
}
}
It's only starting one job at a time so I know I'm doing something wrong. If someone could please point out the problem I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you. Amelia
