How do you get Windows PowerShell to play a sound after .bat job has finished running?

As the title states, I have a .bat job running within PowerShell that when finished running, I would like a sound notification to go off. I was wondering if there was a PowerShell command that I can add to my existing PowerShell command.

Solution

  • you could use powershell automatic variables to check bat file status ..As per this,$? returns true ,if command is successfull..

    below is sample code

    $a =Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {

& "C:\temp1\test.bat"
}

if($?){

[console]::beep(500,300)

}

    You could also play custom sounds,

    $PlayWav=New-Object System.Media.SoundPlayer

$PlayWav.SoundLocation=’C:\Foo\Soundfile.wav’

$PlayWav.playsync()
