Using chocolatey in Powershell

[dfranciscus]

Hello,

I have found that running chocolatey install or uninstall commands via Powershell through the webapp results in the client showing "offline" in Pulseway. I have experienced this with Windows 7 Professional and Windows 10 Enterprise. After checking the system I dont see any errors in the Application or systems logs and the Pulseway service is still running. I used a command like this "choco install skype -y" which should just install the skype package from the chocolatey repository. After restarting the pulseway service on the client it appears online again, but for me this is quite a problem since I update third party packages via remote powershell and chocolatey.

Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan,

I've just tested the "cinst atom -y" and it seems to be working. We've fixed the service hang problem, it will be included in the next release.

Thanks Chris. Was this a known bug before I reported it? Just wondering.

Hi,

No, this is a problem we've fixed after after you've reported it. Thanks again.

OK great. I have to say I have been very impressive with how responsive Pulseway support is. Very rare to see as you probably know.

Can you tell me if there an ETA on the next release?
