A script is executing the following steps in a loop, assume both steps take a long time to complete:

  1. $x = DoSomeWork;
  2. Start-Job -Name "Process $x" { DoSomeMoreWork $x; };

Step 1 blocks the script and step 2 does not, of course. I can easily monitor the progress/state of the loop and step 1 through the console.

What I'd also like to do is monitor the job status of jobs started by step 2 while the batch is still executing.

In general, it is possible to 'attach' or query another powershell session from another session? (Assuming the monitoring session does not spawn the worker session)

powershell powershell-2.0
