for loop and start-job from cmd.exe

hello,

i have simple script developed debug purposes:

$serverlist = @(    "sca-c1cor01",    "scb-c1cor01"    )    ($i=0; $i -lt $serverlist.length; $i++)     {     start-job -scriptblock {$x=0}     }

i have saved script off file called test.ps1.  when run ./test.ps1 within interactive powershell runs fine.  i trying to call script dos window, sql server agent command job, or start->run line.  here syntax using:

cmd.exe /c powershell -nologo -noninteractive "c:\scripts\powershell\test.ps1"

when run way (from dos window), diaglog box pops says:

powershell has stopped working  problem caused program stop working correctly.  windows close program , notify if solution available.

i close , open eventvwr.msc.  2 pieces of info.  1 application , services log (windows powershell):

engine state changed available stopped.

i not doing explicit i/o, not believe following lines have issue @ hand.

p5: tomation.remoting.outofprocesstextwriter.writeline
p6: system.io.filestream.write

the script written has been simplified find exact nature of problem.  if run using "start /noexit" work, incurring footprint powershell.exe process every time gets invoked.  won't work.

has else seen this?  has else developed work-around?  need call script sql server agent job, , using command line option have.  help!

thanks,  john

john;

as work around, try putting "exit" last line of script, , running "start /noexit" ...
