Run SharePoint Timer jobs from PowerShell

Question

We are currently moving from using stsadm to using PowerShell for our SharePoint install scripts.

We have not been able to find an equivilent to this:

stsadm -o -execadmsvcjobs

We have tried putting in a pause, but it varies how long the pause needs to be.

Is there an equivilent command in PowerShell, or could we run this command from PowerShell?

Answer 1

Have a look at the Start-SPAdmin cmdlet here

According to this article, it is the equivalent of execadmsvcjobs.

Answer 2

We ended up using this solution from Sohel's Blog
