I've just joined this distinguished forum.

I've looked through the posts and found nothing regarding my issue.

I have a Powershell script (METS_MenuCentral.ps1), a collection of smaller scripts. When I call METS_MenuCentral, I pass a parameter (ie: MySQL_Backup_log). This executes that small section of the PS script to perform that function.

METS_MenuCentral has over 40 of these small scripts all in one place. I have been using this PS script for some time with an alternative software package.

I want to add a dock that will call METS_MenuCentral.ps1 and pass the argument of "MySQL_Backup_Log"

My properties for the dock are:

Item Type: program
Label: MySQL runs Log
Filename: METS-MenuCentral.ps1
Argument: "MySQL_Backup_Log"
Start In: d:\menu

The METS-MenuCentral launches, but I get the warning message generated in my script that no argument was passed.

I've changed the Argument:

1. No quotes (ie: MySQL_Backup_Log)
2. -sectionName MySQL_Backup_Log
3. -sectionName "MySQL_Backup_Log"

and I get the same warning message.

Can any of you folks point in the right direction?

Thank you ahead of time.

Hmmm... METS-MenuCentral.ps1 is a script, that is, it is in itself actually an argument to PowerShell.exe.

Try the following instead (no guarantee it will work though):

In Filename use the path to the Powershell executable, e.g.;

C:\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

in the Argument field try using instead

METS-MenuCentral.ps1 MySQL_Backup_Log

Let me know if that worked please

Bingo.. give that man a cigar or a shot of tequila or both.

Worked like a charm
