is there a way to handle start-transcript in a background process? I have a script launched in background. almost everything works fine, except logging with start-transcript? in fact, it creates my $filelog.txt but doesn't write anything in it?

I don't see something really useful there. – rschirin May 23 '13 at 19:38

Look better. And show your script. – David Brabant May 23 '13 at 19:39

You cannot do it, non-interactive PowerShell hosts (in your case background job) don't support host output Cmdlets like Start-Transcript, Write-Host etc. You'd have to use you own logging functions or output messages to file via Out-File for example.
