The event could be signaled while the user is in the middle of editing a command line, for +example, the user is reading help to decide which parameter to use. ++Beginning in PSReadLine 2.2.0-beta4, **OnIdle** behavior changed to signal the event only if there +is a `ReadKey()` timeout and the current editing buffer is empty. + ### Feedback & Contributing To PSReadLine [PSReadLine on GitHub](https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine) |
| Microsoft.PowerShell.Core | Switch Process (7.3) | https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/PowerShell-Docs/commits/staging/reference/7.3/Microsoft.PowerShell.Core/Switch-Process.md | +--- +external help file: System.Management.Automation.dll-Help.xml +Module Name: Microsoft.PowerShell.Core +online version: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2181448 Last updated : 01/19/2022+schema: 2.0.0 +--- ++# Switch-Process ++## Synopsis +On Linux and macOS, the cmdlet calls the `execv()` function to provide similar behavior as POSIX +shells. ++## Syntax ++``` +Switch-Process [[-WithCommand] <String[]>] [<CommonParameters>] +``` ++## Description ++Some native Unix commands shell out to run something (like ssh) and use the `bash` built-in command +`exec` to spawn a new process that replaces the current one. By default, `exec` is not a valid +command in PowerShell. This is affecting some known scripts like `copy-ssh-id` and some subcommands +of AzCLI. ++The `PSExec` experimental feature adds a new `Switch-Process` cmdlet aliased to `exec`. The cmdlet +calls `execv()` function to provide similar behavior as POSIX shells. ++The `PSExec` experimental feature must be enabled for this cmdlet to be available. This cmdlet is +only available for non-Windows systems. ++## Examples ++### Example 1 - Execute a command that depends on `exec` ++This example assumes that PowerShell is the default shell on a non-Windows system. `ssh-copy-id` is +a popular bash script to deploy public keys on target machines for key-based authentication. The +script depends on the bash command, `exec`. ++```powershell +ssh-copy-id user@host +``` ++With the `PSExec` feature enabled, the `ssh-copy-id` script succeeds. ++## Parameters ++### -WithCommand ++Specifies the native executable (and any parameters) to be run. All additional values passed as +arguments are passed as an array of strings to be executed with the first command. ++The target command must be a native executable, not a PowerShell command. ++```yaml +Type: System.String[] +Parameter Sets: (All) +Aliases: ++Required: False +Position: 0 +Default value: None +Accept pipeline input: False +Accept wildcard characters: False +``` ++### CommonParameters ++This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, +-InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, +-WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see +[about_CommonParameters](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216). ++## Inputs ++### System.String[] ++## Outputs ++### System.Object ++## Notes ++This feature is not intended to have parity with the built-in `exec` function in POSIX shells (like +how file descriptors are handled), but should cover most cases. ++The `Switch-Process` cmdlet was created to provide `exec` compatibility is other POSIX shells. Under +normal conditions, the cmdlet was not intended to be used in PowerShell scripts. ++## RELATED LINKS ++[Using experimental features](/powershell/learn/experimental-features) ++[about_Experimental_Features](/powershell/module/Microsoft.PowerShell.Core/About/about_Experimental_Features) |
