PowerShell 2.0: One Cmdlet at a Time 100 Remove-Event
Continuing the series looking at new cmdlets available in PowerShell 2.0. This time we look at the Remove-Event cmdlet.
What can I do with it?
Delete an event from the current session. Note: to unsubscribe from an event you will need to use Unregister-Event.
Example:
Retrive current events in the queue with Get-Event, use Remove-Event to clear the event with the SourceIdentifier of Timer, then Get-Event again to confirm that it has been removed.
Get-Event Remove-Event -SourceIdentifier Timer Get-Event
You will see that the event has been cleared.
How could I have done this in PowerShell 1.0?
PowerShell engine events are a new feature in PowerShell 2.0.
