Run multiple scripts in parallel

Question

I am stuck at the below task:

I have 5 PowerShell scripts that need to be executed in parallel. I want to create a home.ps1 that will call to other test1.ps1, test2.ps1, test3.ps1,test4.ps1 and test5.ps1 at same time.

Answer 1

You can use jobs for this:

$scripts = 'test1.ps1', 'test2.ps1', 'test3.ps1', 'test4.ps1', 'test5.ps1'

$scripts | ForEach-Object {
  Start-Job -FilePath $_
} | Wait-Job | Receive-Job
