Powershell Scheduled Task or Windows Service

I have many powershell scripts that do reporting, alerting, or even gathering of statistical data. I needed a way to have those scripts running either all the time or at intervals. Here is a simple way to do this in powershell:

Scheduled Task:

• Create the Task and the Time
• Run as Administrator
• powershell.exe -nologo -command "&{c:\MyTask.ps1}"

One note is that powershell.exe must be in your environment variables. If not, then just put the full path in to powershell.exe (C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe)

Run as a Windows Service

• Download RunAsService
• Run through the basic installation and set up the user to run the service (or local if that is all that is needed)
• In the .config used by RunAsService
  

<service.settings>
<service>
<name>POSh Service</name>
<executable>powershell</executable>
<parameters>-file "C:\MyPOShServices\runmon.ps1"</parameters>
</service>
</service.settings>
</pre>

The only way I know how to do this currently is with some open source. Please let me know if there is another way.
