Where does Start-Job output go?
powershell
Solution
Jobs are running in the background, so they don't write to the console. You have to run `Receive-Job` after a job completes to collect its output.
Problem
``` W:> $job = start-job { Write-Output "hi there"; throw "an error!" } | Wait-Job W:> $job | select * State : Failed HasMoreData : True StatusMessage : Location : localhost Command : Write-Output "hi there"; throw "an error!" JobStateInfo : Failed Finished : System.Threading.ManualResetEvent InstanceId : 882957a9-a5e0-4876-bd22-0dbd87512f10 Id : 7 Name : Job7 ChildJobs : {Job8} PSBeginTime : 3/24/2013 5:52:41 PM PSEndTime : 3/24/2013 5:52:47 PM PSJobTypeName : BackgroundJob Output : {} Error : {} Progress : {} Verbose : {} Debug : {} Warning : {} ``` Where did my output go? How do I see the standard out/error streams?
