Powershell script file problem

I have sought an answer in another forum, made some progress, but still
haven't managed to get this to work....

I have several Smart Switches controlled by Alexa, running automated
routines. Trouble is, that sometimes the SM's become inaccessible to
Alexa, so the routine doesn't then do anything - until I happen to
check the devices in Alexa and notice the comms failure, then reset.

I have not found any way for Alexa to advise me of the failure, so I
looked at other ways and a possible solution seems to be to ping the
devices and report ping failures.

Nirsoft's PingInfoView is a likely candidate for the job, but doesn't
include the essential ability to send an email to report failures, it
is though supposed to be able to use a PowerShell script to send an
email...

I have the PingInforView located in C:\Program Files\Nirsoft and the
script file in that same folder.

This is the 'failed.ps1' script, with the details adjusted for my
details in the first four lines of the script.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
$Username = "username";
$Password = "password";
$SendTo = "my email address";
$MailServer = "mail server";
$HostName = $args[0];
$IPAddress = $args[1];
$PingStatus = $args[2];
$FailedOn = $args[3];

$message = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage;
$message.From = $Username;
$message.To.Add($SendTo);
$message.Subject = "Failed Ping On $HostName" ;
$message.Body = "Information about the failed ping: `r`nHost Name:
$HostName`r`nIP Address: $IPAddress`r`nPing Status: $PingStatus`r`nPing
Time: $FailedOn";

$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($MailServer, "25");
$smtp.EnableSSL = $true;
$smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username,
$Password);
$smtp.send($message);
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This line is run by PingInfoView when a failure to reply to ping is
detected...

Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File C:\Program
Files\Nirsoft\failed.ps1 "%HostName%" "%IPAddress%" "%LastPingStatus%"
"%LastFailedOn%"

It is obvious that the line does get run when a deliberate failure is
set up, because I see a brief flash of the blue PS Console screen, but
no email is sent, or received.

If I open a PS Console and past the above line in, this is the response
I get...

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned
-File C:\Program Files\Nirsoft\failed.ps1 "%HostName%" "%IPAddress%"
"%LastPingStatus%" "%LastFailedOn%"
Processing -File 'C:\Program' failed because the file does not have a
'.ps1' extension. Specify a valid Windows PowerShell script file name,
and then try again.
Windows PowerShell

If I copy and paste the entire contents of the actual script into the
PS Console, it runs as expected, an email is sent and received.

I also made sure that 'failed.ps1' was edited in Wordpad and saved as
'all files'. The file is also listed in Explorer as a Powershell
Script, so why this complaint when trying to use the script....
'Processing -File 'C:\Program' failed because the file does not have a
'.ps1' extension.' ???

I think you ned quotes round the C:\Program Files\Nirsoft\failed.ps1
bit, or otherwise it will assume the embedded space between Program and
Files marks the end of the file name. So:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned
> -File "C:\Program Files\Nirsoft\failed.ps1" "%HostName%" "%IPAddress%"
> "%LastPingStatus%" "%LastFailedOn%"

enclose the C:\Program Files\Nirsoft\failed.ps1 in double quotes as it contains
a space.

Thanks, but

I tried the quotes and it simply produces the same error as before..

Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned

Well it failed where the space between program and files exists, so I's still
say it's a quoting issue, how exactly did you run it?

I did an equivalent test, of an existing .ps1 file, in a folder with a space in
the name, using double quotes and that made the difference between the error
you're getting and no error but running my script.

Also, why are you starting a powershell session, then running a nested instance
of powershell within it?

I was just testing it, to see why it wouldn't work called from my ping
software.

As indicated above, there were two issues - the lack of quotes around
the file to run and an issue with the file suffix - failed.ps1.ps1

that it sets a Followup-To: header to the "alt.test.group", resulting in

The John Doe troll posting one of its vacuous insults at 05:39:20 UTC on
20 Mar 2022 with a grammatical error:

http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=164790428800

Then, at 05:55:56 UTC, 16 minutes and 36 seconds later, the John Doe
troll responds to its own post with a correction, but stupidly forgets
that it sets a Followup-To: header to the "alt.test.group", resulting in
its correction article posting only to "alt.test.group":

http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=164790440700

The John Doe troll, mister "alway...@message.header", is so stupid it
does not even remember it sets a Followup-To: header in its own vacuous
insults.

Special thanks to corvid <b...@ckb.ird> for pointing out the stupidity of
the John Doe troll:

http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=165594737000

The John Doe troll stated the following in message-id
<sdhn7c$pkp$4...@dont-email.me>:

> The troll doesn't even know how to format a USENET post...

And yet, the clueless John Doe troll has continued to post incorrectly
formatted USENET articles that are devoid of content (latest example on
Thu, 14 Jul 2022 22:43:42 GMT in message-id
<y_0AK.328828$LfE9....@usenetxs.com>).

NOBODY likes the John Doe troll's contentless spam.

This posting is a public service announcement for any google groups
readers who happen by to point out that Troll Doe does not even follow
the rules it uses to troll other posters.
