start a .exe in the background with parameters in a powershell script
The job will be another instance of PowerShell.exe and it will not start in same path so . won't work. It needs to know where storage.exe is.
Also you have to use the arguments from argumentlist in the scriptblock. You can either use the built-in args array or do named parameters. The args way needs the least amount of code.
$block = {& "C:\full\path\to\storage\bin\storage.exe" $args}start-job -scriptblock $block -argumentlist "-f", "C:\full\path\to\storage\conf\storage.conf"Named parameters are helpful to know what what arguments are supposed to be. Here's how it would look using them:
$block = { param ([string[]] $ProgramArgs) & "C:\full\path\to\storage\bin\storage.exe" $ProgramArgs}start-job -scriptblock $block -argumentlist "-f", "C:\full\path\to\storage\conf\storage.conf"
