Running (Un-block) a downloaded script in MSH

---

---

I got a comment of Lee Holmes, on last post. Tipping that you can also use time-expression, to time operations in MSH.

eg:

time-Expression {sleep 1}

Seconds : 1
Milliseconds : 5

time-Expression {sleep 1}

Seconds : 1
Milliseconds : 3

time-Expression {sleep 1}

Seconds : 0
Milliseconds : 999

(the output contains more (day,s hours etc., but I let it out here)
it also shows a good example of the "Caching" I mentioned about in last blog, if you do the same action a couple of times it get quicker. (last example even a bit to quick ;-)

after looking at his blog and finding Part 2 of the Burn-Console series, I also posted about before : burn-console.msh Part II - A working implementation , I think I did see, why he is into timing also ;-), you will see if you look there.

but to get back to the topic,

ofcource, I was eager to try his new Example, I downloaded it (the TXT file as pasting gives some troubles) , removed the .TXT part and started it (at least tried to) :

MSH>.\burn-console-1.working.msh

The file G:\Monad\burn-console-1.working.msh cannot be loaded. The file G:\Monad\burn-console-1.working.msh is not digitally signed. The script will not execute on the system. Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details..
At line:1 char:28
+ .\burn-console-1.working.msh <<<< href="http://mow001.blogspot.com/2005/10/codesigning-in-monad-shell-beta-2-for.html">CodeSigning in Monad" Shell Beta 2 (for .NET Framework 2.0 RC/RTM) , b.t.w. that will bring you also to Lee Holmes Blog, for a good item about this.

so I had to Un-Block it first (as Monad does know I got it from the internet) "hmm did think, I did not even tell my mother that, but ok ...;-)":

So I did right-click the file in explorer, and yes there was the Unblock button.

I unlocked the file, and did try to start it again.

same error.

???

But after starting a new MSH shell, Monad did know I "accepted" that script and did start it for me.

So it seems that this get's not updated / inspected again in the "live" MSH shell, you have to start a new shell to be able to start the script.

if you know it it's not that bad, but it can be confusing, so I hope this is a beta thingie.

Enjoy your downloaded (and startable) MSH scripts
