Timer to check other Timer

[daniel kusnir]

Hello

i would like to do following :

1. start 3 timers at once
2. first timer checks for network
3. 2nd renames the computer
3. 3rd one should execute code only after the 1st and 2nd timer ends

i have following code :

Code: Select all

$timerRenamePC_Tick = {
	
	if ($timerRenamePC.Tag -ne $null)
	{
		if ($timerRenamePC.Tag.state -ne 'Running')
		{
			$label_FinalComputerName.Text = Receive-Job -Name 'RenamePC' -Keep
			$script:NewDomainComputerName = $label_FinalComputerName.Text
			
			search-domaincomputer -NewDomainComputerName $NewDomainComputerName -FQDN $FQDN
			
			$timerRenamePC.Tag = $null
			$timerRenamePC.Stop
			
		}
		else
		{
		}
	}
}

inserting code :

Code: Select all

( ($timerNetworkCheck.Tag.state -ne 'Running')  -and ($timerRename.Tag.state -ne 'Running') )

does not work.

I do not want to do it via job tracker, as codeblocks there does not allow me to handle certain situations. The above is just and example, in real world i have much more timers running concurrently but need to wait for each other.

Any idea if this can be achieve via simple timers ?

thanks a lot

all right , i figured it out, it was very simple and stupid.

I have 3 timers, i need to get 4th to just check status of timer 1 + timer 2. Once those are both completed, initiate the
start of timer 4, and stop itself .

Glad to hear! Sometimes its good to step back, look at the code again, and the magic returns.
