PowerShell is the Scripting shell of the Windows world. A PowerShell script can be used in Jobs as easy as other shell scripts.
An example:
<[http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/xml/job.xml job ]title="Execute a PowerShell Script" order="yes" stop_on_error="no">
<[http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/xml/script.xml script ]language="shell"><![CDATA[
echo SCHEDULER_DATA = %SCHEDULER_DATA%
echo SCHEDULER_PARAM_SCRIPT_FILENAME = %SCHEDULER_PARAM_SCRIPT_FILENAME%
powershell get-ExecutionPolicy
powershell -nologo -NonInteractive -noprofile -file "%SCHEDULER_PARAM_SCRIPT_FILENAME%" "%SCHEDULER_PARAM_SCRIPT_FILENAME%"
exit %errorlevel%
]]>
</script>
<[http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/xml/monitor.xml monitor ]name="configuration_monitor"
ordering="0">
<[http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/xml/script.xml script ]java_class="sos.scheduler.managed.configuration.ConfigurationOrderMonitor"
language="java"/>
</monitor>
<[http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/xml/run_time.xml run_time]/>
</job>
This job is an order-driven job and therefore the parameter for this job comes from an order like that one below:
<[http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/xml/order.xml order ]title="Executes the File PowerShell-Hallo.ps1">
<[http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/xml/params.xml params]>
<[http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/xml/param.xml param ]name="Script_Filename"
value="$\{SCHEDULER_DATA\}\config\live\PowerShell\Powershell-Hallo.ps1"/>
</params>
<[http://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/en/scheduler.doc/xml/run_time.xml run_time] let_run="no"/>
</order>
Within the order the value of the parameter Script_Filename, which specify the name of the script to be executed, will be passed to the job as an environment variable.
The script, which is executed in the above example, is as much as simple:
$A="Hello, PowerShell ..."
$A
Write-Host "Num Args:" $args.Length;
foreach ($arg in $args)
\{
Write-Host "Arg: $arg";
\}
Write-Host "Environment-var Scheduler-Data is : $env:SCHEDULER_DATA"
Write-Host "Operating system is : $env:OS"
exit $lastexitcode

The output in the log-file looks like the text below:
