Is it possible in PowerShell to make a timer wait for a specific time?

Question

PowerShell

Please tell me, is it possible to insert a timer in the middle of the script, which will not count seconds, but will wait until it is 18:45 according to the system time - then continue executing the rest of the script?

Answer 1

Could be so

$StartDate=(Get-Date) # текущая дата
$EndDate = [datetime]”11/12/2015 17:50” # необходимая дата и время. формат м/д/г

$secs_towait = (New-TimeSpan –Start $StartDate –End $EndDate).Seconds # выгружаем информацию о разнице в секундах
Start-Sleep -Seconds $secs_towait # приостанавливаем выполнение программы на $secs_towait секунд

Answer 2

Yes, but you have to use .NET
You can of course use a crooked solution like this

PS C:\Users\sst> $a=[datetime]::now.date
PS C:\Users\sst> $a=$a.addhours(16)
PS C:\Users\sst> $a=$a.addminutes(40)
PS C:\Users\sst> $a

11 ноября 2015 г. 16:40:00

PS C:\Users\sst> start-sleep ($a-[datetime]::now).totalseconds;write "timer"
