Counting the results of Invoke-Command - powershell

Question

I have a job that goes off and checks for specified windows processes that have taken over 5 minutes of CPU time, across a range of servers.
The processes and servers are supplied via arrays, and looped through with some loops, this works nicely.
However, what I want to do is count how many results are found for each process as it loops through.
For the purpose of this example, the set variables would be
$seconds = 300
$server = "SERVER1"
$process = "notepad.exe"
And the command I run is as follows
$list = (Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server -ScriptBlock {
Param($Rseconds, $Rprocess)
Get-Process | Where {
($_.CPU -gt $Rseconds) -and
($_.Path -like "*$Rprocess”)
} | ForEach-Object {
$_.Kill()
}
} -ArgumentList $seconds, $process)
As far as killing the process, it works perfectly, and respects the values input, but what I can't get it to do is count how many of each process it killed
I've tried simply incrementing a counter within the ForEach-Object block, and tried sticking Measure-Object in various places to try and return a value, so I can call on something like
$list.Count
But nothing seems to work. It simply returns a blank value.

Answer 1

Found the answer to this
$listCount = (Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server -ScriptBlock { param($Rseconds,$Rprocess) Get-Process | Where { ($_.CPU -gt $Rseconds) -and ($_.Path -like "*$Rprocess”) } | Measure-Object } -ArgumentList $seconds,$process)
Had to add in the Measure-Object, but I was also being fooled by my own setup. I'd limited the server scope to one server, but I was checking the wrong one, so led myself down a blind alley, and seems I'd had the solution previously anyway
All working now

Answer 2

Use Stop-Process with the parameter -PassThru instead of calling Kill() in a loop.
$list = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server -ScriptBlock {
Param($Rseconds, $Rprocess)
Get-Process | Where-Object {
$_.CPU -gt $Rseconds -and
$_.Path -like "*$Rprocess"
} | Stop-Process -Force -PassThru
} -ArgumentList $seconds, $process
If you want only the count returned instead of a list of process objects you could do something like this instead:
$list = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server -ScriptBlock {
Param($Rseconds, $Rprocess)
$proc = Get-Process | Where-Object {
$_.CPU -gt $Rseconds -and
$_.Path -like "*$Rprocess"
}
$proc | Stop-Process -Force
$proc.Count
} -ArgumentList $seconds, $process
