- # PowerShell
-
- You can use [PowerShell](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/mt173057.aspx)
- and Windows Task Scheduler to automate various tasks on a Windows system.
- From within a PowerShell script, it is also easy to ping SITE_NAME.
-
- Here is a simple PowerShell script that pings SITE_NAME. When scheduled to
- run with Task Scheduler, it will essentially just send regular "I'm alive" messages.
- Of course, you can extend it to do more things.
-
- ```powershell
- # inside a PowerShell script:
- Invoke-RestMethod PING_URL
- ```
-
- Save the above to e.g., `C:\Scripts\healthchecks.ps1`.
- Then use the following command in a Scheduled Task to run the script:
-
- ```bat
- powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -File C:\Scripts\healthchecks.ps1
- ```
-
- In simple cases, you can also pass the script to PowerShell directly,
- using the "-command" argument:
-
- ```bat
- # Without an underlying script, passing the command to PowerShell directly:
- powershell.exe -command &{Invoke-RestMethod PING_URL}
- ```
