Register-EngineEvent

Short description
Subscribes to events that are generated by the Windows PowerShell engine and by the New-Event cmdlet.

Syntax


Description
The Register-EngineEvent cmdlet subscribes to events that are generated by the Windows PowerShell engine and the 
New-Event cmdlet. Use the SourceIdentifier parameter to specify the event.


You can use this cmdlet to subscribe to the "Exiting" engine event and events generated by the New-Event cmdlet. These 
events are automatically added to your event queue in your session without subscribing. However, subscribing lets you 
forward the events, specify an action to respond to the events, and cancel the subscription.


When the subscribed event is raised, it is added to the event queue in your session. To get events in the event queue, 
use the Get-Event cmdlet.


When you subscribe to a event, an event subcriber is added to your session. To get the event subscribers in the 
session, use the Get-EventSubscriber cmdlet. To cancel the subscription, use the Unregister-Event cmdlet, which 
deletes the event subscriber from the session.
