Powershell: get output from Receive-Job

Question

I have a collection of jobs that are running. When they complete I use receive-job and it writes the output to the screen. I\'d like to take that output and log it to a file

Answer 1

I know this is old. I don't use jobs very often so I was obviously having the same problem when I stumbled on this thread. Anyway, I arrived at a different solution so I thought I'd throw it out there.

Also in PowerShell 5.1 I simply referenced the properties on the Bob Object(s) In my case this looked like:

$Jobs.ChildJobs.Output | Out-File  -Append

It looks like all the streams are recorded in this way. Simple echoes go to the Output. Write-Host commands go to Information Stream.

Output        : {}
Error         : {}
Progress      : {}
Verbose       : {}
Debug         : {}
Warning       : {}
Information   : {}

At any rate I hope that's helpful to someone.
