In this blog post, I’d like to give you a few examples related to PowerShell Background Jobs to build upon. Let’s jump in.
Let’s say I want to ping a few computers. This consumes time. So I want that this task runs in the background as a PowerShell background job.
Outside of practicing for a certification, I don’t remember the last time I willingly chose to run something as a background job, either in Powershell or bash. The concept is still useful (especially if I’m on an SSH connection or have direct terminal access), though in a UI-driven world, I’d just open a new terminal tab.
