Hi,
I hope you all are doing well, I am in Italy for this week and enjoying Italian coffee.
Anyway.
In few of my scripts, before rebooting the laptop, I use Start-Sleep cmdlet to give a pause for 30-60 seconds.
We can do this easily using Start-Sleep 30.But, it is always good to show informative message on the screen so that user can know what is going on, to do that, I use while loop.
See the code below and it is very simple.
#variable
$second = 30
#While Loop
#while our $second variable is greater then 0
While ($second -gt 0 ) {
# we are minus 1 with every look
$second—
# putting laptop sleeping for one seconds
sleep 1
# just a message
Write-Warning “Computer will be restated in $second”
}
Logically this loop will run 30 times, until $seconds value is not come to zero.
Let’s run the code and the result is. nice informative message about that laptops will be reboot in 30 seconds.
