Powershell Progress Bar with Time Countdown
I needed to add a 15 minute pause in a script that we were using to create exchange mailboxes and this little Powershell progress bar with a countdown timer worked really nice.

I like this. I used it to show a timer while waiting for some files to finish processing. I changed it to recycle a new bar if there were still files pending. Here's my code:
ReplyDelete$numfiles=(Get-ChildItem T:\DVRMS_to_Process).count
"There are $numfiles files to process"
$tmr=56*$numfiles
$length = $tmr / 100
while((Test-Path T:\DVRMS_to_Process\*) -eq $true) {
$min = [int](([string]($tmr/60)).split('.')[0])
$text = " " + $min + " minutes " + ($tmr % 60) + " seconds left"
Write-Progress "Pausing Script, Waiting for commercials to be cut from $numfiles file(s)" -status $text -perc ($tmr/$length)
start-sleep -s 1
$tmr--
$numfiles=(Get-ChildItem T:\DVRMS_to_Process).count
If ($tmr -eq 0 -and $numfiles -ge "1"){
"There are still $numfiles files to process`nStarting new Countdown."
$tmr=40*$numfiles
$length = $tmr / 100
}
}
"done pausing"
