<div>
You can use a do - until loop<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-40353917-1">do {$ST.GetFolder(&quot;\&quot;).GetTask(&quot;GWSTSAutoPatch&quot;)
Start-sleep 10}
until ($ST.GetFolder(&quot;\&quot;).GetTask(&quot;GWSTSAutoPatch&quot; = some value; $M = $ST.GetFolder(&quot;\&quot;).GetTask(&quot;GWSTSAutoPatch&quot;))</code></pre>
<br />
<br />
Something like the above, I've not actually tested what you're trying to do though

Hello Experts,<br />
I have a script which is getting hung and not able to proceed to next commandline<br />
Below is the script<br />
$ST = new-object -com schedule.service<br />
$Server = &quot;Server1&quot;<br />
$ST.Connect($server)<br />
$M = $ST.GetFolder(&quot;\&quot;).GetTask<wbr />(&quot;GWSTSAut<wbr />oPatch&quot;)<br />
It gets hung on $ST.GetFolder(&quot;\&quot;).GetTask<wbr />(&quot;GWSTSAut<wbr />oPatch&quot;) and wont proceed into next command.<br />
Now , question is &nbsp;, Can I add a timeout on this? so , that script will wait for few sec and it will proceed if it does not get any response.<br />
Thanks,<br />

AddingTimeout to powershell script

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Powershell

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.
