Hi ED,

thanks for sharing

here a function to trace module loaded in session:

Function Trace-Module([switch]$View) {

$Modules=compare @(powershell -nop -c 'module') @(module) |

Where { $_.SideIndicator -eq '=>' }

if($Modules) {

if($View) {

$Modules | foreach {

get-command -Module $_.InputObject |

select commandType,Name,ModuleName | ogv -title "Trace Modules $(date)"

}

} else {

$true

}

} else {

$false

}

PS II> trace-Module

$false

PS II> ipmo mod2

PS II> trace-Module
