I am calling from one PS1 script to Start-Process to call another instance of PowerShell,
This works as expected and the logs are being read in realtime which is what I need.
But after 14 logs open, I have 14 PowerShell prompts with the same Title: Administrator: Windows PowerShell.
I know you can modify it, and I do it for other scripts with no problems, but when passing commands to a new instance, as it seems it is not reading my $ScriptBlock as it should be.
Any advice on what I may be doing wrong?
See my code below:
<#
Add parameters to the ScriptBlock
Set the PS window title prompt to the logs name
>#
$ScriptBlock = {
$Title = "Test.log"
$host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = $Title
}
# Start a new PS prompt executing reading a live logfile
Start-Process powershell.exe -ArgumentList '-NoExit -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy ByPass $ScriptBlock; Get-Content Test.log -Wait -tail 10'
Thank you!

SolutionHi
the title should be within the script block and also make sure to use a single quote not double quote
$ScriptBlock = {
$name='New Name '
#$Title = "C:\PortQryV2\readme.txt"
$host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = $name
}
# Start a new PS prompt executing reading a live logfile
Start-Process powershell.exe -ArgumentList "-NoExit -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy ByPass $ScriptBlock"

@farismalaeb Thank you so much!
Simple fix, wondering why I did not try single quotes :p
Thanks again!
