How do you get Windows PowerShell to play a sound after .bat job has finished running?

Question

As the title states, I have a .bat job running within PowerShell that when finished running, I would like a sound notification to go off. I was wondering if there was a PowerShell command that I can add to my existing PowerShell command.

Answer 1

you could use powershell automatic variables to check bat file status ..As per this,$? returns true ,if command is successfull..

below is sample code

$a =Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {

& "C:\temp1\test.bat"
}

if($?){

[console]::beep(500,300)

}

You could also play custom sounds,

$PlayWav=New-Object System.Media.SoundPlayer

$PlayWav.SoundLocation=’C:\Foo\Soundfile.wav’

$PlayWav.playsync()
