Commandlet ExecCmds provides support for processing ExecCmds command line arguments prior to a commandlet’s execution.

[Documentation Link: PDF]

Currently, individual commandlets opt into processing ExecCmds command line arguments by requesting an engine tick. Because of this, it is not always clear whether passing ExeCmds command line arguments to a commandlet will have an effect -- requiring the user to inspect the commandlet source code or output log. This plugin ensures that any commandlet being executed will process ExecCmds command line arguments.

A good usage case is passing one-time console variables to a commandlet. Without this plugin, you can ensure that the console variable is set by assigning it in an config file (e.g. ConsoleVariables.ini), saving the config file, and then running the commandlet. With this plugin, you can use ExecCmds on the command line and expect the command line arguments to be processed.
