How to know when a command isn't responding in powershell - powershell

Question

I have a powershell script which launch a command line utility DacIESvcCli.exe
DacIESvcCli.exe sends me a response and when I receive it I take the status, which can be "Running" or "Completed"
My problem is that sometimes the call hangs and I never get a response. The following script can run 3 days without interruption.
How can I prevent this from happening?
$myCounter = 0
while($myCounter -lt 5){
Write "start of the while counter : " $myCounter
$exportResponse = C:\DAC\DacIESvcCli.exe -s "myserver.database.windows.net" -u "mylogin#myserver" -p "mypassword" -requestid 'e1e34eee-1aaa-4cc9-8c48-3a2239fe1bff' -status
$exportStatus = $exportResponse[10].split(" ")[1].toString()
Write $exportStatus
$myCounter++
}
Here is the output
start of the while counter :
0
Completed
start of the while counter :
1
Completed
start of the while counter :
2
Completed
start of the while counter :
3
_
... and it never ends.

Here is part of my script for Travis Heseman
param($username, $password, $serverName, $requestId)
$consecutiveFailedAttempt = 0
while( $exportStatus -ne "Completed" -and $exportStatus -ne "Failed" -and $exportStatus -ne "TooLong"){
if($exportStatus -ne "FirstRun"){
Start-Sleep -m 60000 # Wait 1 min
}
$currentNow = Get-Date
$job = Start-Job { param($s, $u, $p, $r) C:\DAC\DacIESvcCli.exe -s $s -User $u -p $p -requestid $r -status } -ArgumentList #($serverName, $username, $password, $requestId)
Wait-Job $job -Timeout 60 # if the command takes longer than 60 sec we timeout and retry
Stop-Job $job
$exportResponse = Receive-Job $job
Remove-Job $job
if($exportResponse[10]){
$exportStatus = $exportResponse[10].split(" ")[1].toString()
$consecutiveFailedAttempt = 0;
}else{
$currentNow = Get-Date
$whileMessage = "Time out we retry " + $currentNow
$whileMessage | Out-File $File -append
$exportStatus = "Unknown"
$consecutiveFailedAttempt++;
}
if($consecutiveFailedAttempt -gt 10){
$exportStatus = "TooLong"
}
}
# do wantever you want with the export status
