As name suggests, this is PowerShell host with HTML (JS/AJAX) user interface. It's primary purpose is to enable running PowerShell scripts as part of interaction with a website, for example, running deployment scripts straight from release tracking website.

PSHC was built to extend deployment features of my ReleaseCandidateTracker application but is not dependant on RCT in any way.

PowerShellHtmlConsole used following components:

• JQuery
• JQueryTerminal
• NDesk.Options
• log4net
• ASP.NET Web API
• Newtonsoft.JSON

PowerShellHtmlConsole has two execution modes.

In this mode user just enters commands and watches results. To run PSHC in this mode, type

PowerShellHtmlConsole.exe --listen=<some_url>

In this mode user sees results of executing particular script. User is allowed to type only when the script requests user input (e.g. by executing Read-Host cmdlet).

To run PSHC in this mode, type

PowerShellHtmlConsole.exe --listen=<some_url> --script=<some_script.ps1>
