I have a collection of jobs that are running. When they complete I use receive-job and it writes the output to the screen. I'd like to take that output and log it to a file. I don't want to tee the output produced while the jobs are running because with multiple jobs running at once the logging would be interspersed. Get-Job | Receive-Job prints the output in a nice organized manner.
I have tried all of the following and no output is written to the file or stored in a variable, it just goes to the screen:
#Wait for last job to complete
While (Get-Job -State "Running") {
Log "Running..." -v $info
Start-Sleep 10
}
Log ("Jobs Completed. Output:") -v $info
# Getting the information back from the jobs
foreach($job in Get-Job){
Receive-Job -Job $job | Out-File c:\Test.log -Append
$output = Receive-Job -Job $job
Log ("OUTPUT: "+$output)
Receive-Job -Job $job -OutVariable $foo
Log ("FOO: "+$foo)
}
EDIT: I have removed the extra Receive-Job calls in the foreach to the following after seeing Keith's comment:
# Getting the information back from the jobs
foreach($job in Get-Job){
Receive-Job -Job $job -OutVariable temp
Write-Host ("Temp: "+$temp)
$temp | Out-File -FilePath c:\Test.log -Append
}
I also verified I'm not using Receive-Job anywhere else in the script. The write-host $temp and the out-file still produce no output though.
