<div>So it looks like the WinPSClient hasn’t been updated in a few months. I had seen a thread from quite a while ago about some issues David was running into, but can’t tell if he’s still around and willing/able to work on it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve been able to get XymonPSClient.exe (aka SrvAny) to run powershell natively as a 64-bit executable. The only change necessary to enable this was changing the PowerShell executable to running as %windir%\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe.
The sysnative portion prevents a 32-bit program (SrvAny) from being redirected to %windir%\SysWow64. (See <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384187(v=vs.85).aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384187(v=vs.85).aspx</a>).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also found a better service wrapper than SrvAny, namely nssm (<a href="http://nssm.cc">http://nssm.cc</a>/). This has the ability to detect if powershell fails and restart it, which is something SrvAny lacks. It also comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions,
so when using the latter the sysnative piece isn’t necessary. I’ve only been working at this for a day or two, so it probably needs more testing, but it looks promising.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there any work (design contemplation) about how xymonclient.ps1 could handle external scripts? I assume this was just a future phase and not so much a limitation or barrier that hadn’t yet been overcome.</div>

</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
