Powershell - Running 2 scripts at the same time

[daz5505]

Hi All

 

I am having an issue with running a Powershell script with a countdown timer. both of the scripts work individually, but i cannot get them to run at the same time. I have tried creating a bat file calling each script but the 2nd one does not start until the 1st one has completed.

 

Can anyone advise?

 

 

Thanks Everyone

How are you setting the timers up? i just want to be able to replicate your issue (post the code).

 

Cheers

code for a simple time below:

$Time = 15*60
$length = $Time / 100
while($Time -gt 0) {
$min = [int](([string]($Time/60)).split('.')[0])
$text = " " + $min + " minutes " + ($Time % 60) + " seconds left"
Write-Progress "Pausing Script" -status $text -perc ($Time/$length)
start-sleep -s 1
$Time --
}

I am trying to run a start-process "odopen command. Whilst that is running i would like a countdown timer to be visible , Say a 20 second countdown.
