PowerShell functions to start/stop IIS Express in the specified directory as a background job

IisExpressJob.ps1

$jobName = 'IisExpressJob'

function Start-IisExpress($pathToSource) {
    Start-Job -Name $jobName -Arg $pathToSource -ScriptBlock {
        param ($pathToSource)
        & 'C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe' /port:1234 /path:$pathToSource
    }
}

function Stop-IisExpress {
    Stop-Job -Name $jobName
    Remove-Job -Name $jobName
}

To use, just dot source them from your $profile. I use a slightly customized version that doesn't require the source. Change as needed.

Fixed issue with the argument list getting passed to the job.

Slightly modified functions that checks for the jobname if it exists, and also parses arguments as parameters - just if it is usefull

Function Start-IISExpress (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$port = "8080",
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$path,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$jobName = "IISExpressJob",
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][string]$iisExpressExe = "C:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe"
)
{
if ( [bool](get-job -Name $jobName -ea silentlycontinue) )
{
Stop-IISExpress -JobName $jobName
}

Start-Job -Name $jobName -Arg $iisExpressExe, $port, $path -ScriptBlock {
    param ($iisExpressExe, $port, $path)
    Start-process $iisExpressExe -ArgumentList "/port:$port /path:$path" -WindowStyle Hidden
    Start-Sleep -m 1000
}

Write-Host "Site started"

}

Function Stop-IISExpress(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$jobName = "IISExpressJob"
)
{
if ( [bool](get-job -Name $jobName -ea silentlycontinue) )
{
Stop-Job -Name $jobName
Remove-Job -Name $jobName
}
}

Stop-IISExpress is not stopping website which is started by Start-IISExpress , Any clue?
