PowerShell 2.0: One Cmdlet at a Time 19 Stop-Job
Continuing the series looking at new cmdlets available in PowerShell 2.0. This time we look at the Stop-Job cmdlet.
What can I do with it?
Stop background jobs which are running in the current session.
Examples:
Stop job with id 13.
Stop-Job -id 13
Retrieve all current jobs and stop them all.
Get-Job | Stop-Job
How could I have done this in PowerShell 1.0?
The concept of jobs did not exist in PowerShell 1.0. You would have needed to open an extra PowerShell session whilst you waited for a command to complete in your current session.
