trying to spawn instances of a powershell script in separate windo

[Nate]

each instance will have a different command line parameter and the multiple
windows will allow the concurrent tasks to be monitored. I can't seem to
spawn a new instance with a command AND parameters". I een tried using the AT
scheduler as a work-around. Any tips?

Details will depend on the version of PS that you're using (commandline
invocation is easier with PS2). Please note that doing this is NOT like
spawning jobs; you would be creating new powershell processes and they would
have no object linkage to the original PS window (although you can confirm
whether or not the processes have exited by retaining references to the
processes).

You'll need to use the static Start method of System.Diagnostics.Process to
start new instances of PS. First, check the commandline syntax for starting
a script using
PowerShell -?

Assuming you're using PS2, you can run a script with arguments like this
from within PowerShell:

[system.diagnostics.process]::Start("powershell", "-file
c:\tmp\myscript.ps1 -arg1 arg2")

The script will start, run, and exit when finished. If you want it to remain
open, include the -noexit argument BEFORE the -file:

"-noexit -file c:\tmp\myscript.ps1 -arg1 arg2")
