DESCRIPTION

The Get-Runspace cmdlet gets active runspaces in a PowerShell host process.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Get runspaces

Get-Runspace

Id Name            ComputerName    Type          State         Availability
 -- ----            ------------    ----          -----         ------------
  1 Runspace1       localhost       Local         Opened        Busy
  2 Runspace2       localhost       Local         Opened        Available
  3 Runspace3       localhost       Local         Opened        Available

Example 2: Get runspace by Id

Get-Runspace -Id 2

Id Name            ComputerName    Type          State         Availability
 -- ----            ------------    ----          -----         ------------
  2 Runspace2       localhost       Local         Opened        Available

Example 3: Get runspace by Name

Get-Runspace -Name Runspace1

Id Name            ComputerName    Type          State         Availability
 -- ----            ------------    ----          -----         ------------
  1 Runspace1       localhost       Local         Opened        Busy

Example 4: Get runspace by InstanceId

In this example, we identify an available runspace using the Name parameter and store the return object to the variable $activeRunspace. This allows you to use the properties of the Runspace in subsequent runs of Get-Runspace.

$activeRunspace = Get-Runspace -Name Runspace1
Get-Runspace -InstanceId $activeRunspace.InstanceId

Id Name            ComputerName    Type          State         Availability
 -- ----            ------------    ----          -----         ------------
  1 Runspace1       localhost       Local         Opened        Busy
