windows - Can Powershell put counter values in the system tray? -

i trying monitor wifi adapter's throughput numerically on scheme tray; so.

i figured out static powershell query

((get-counter '\\mullick1\network interface(intel[r] centrino[r] advanced-n 6205)\bytes total/sec').countersamples).cookedvalue*8/102400000*100

but how can continuous feed , how set on scheme tray ? found alternate solution in diskled software. doesn't show actual value.

this script render(update) text @ notify icon.

customize "get-notifyicontext" function like.

#requires -version 3.0 function get-notifyicontext { [datetime]::now.second.tostring() # ((get-counter '\\mypc\network interface(intel[r] 82579v gigabit network connection)\bytes total/sec').countersamples).cookedvalue*8/102400000*100 } add-type -referencedassemblies @("system.windows.forms"; "system.drawing") -typedefinition @" using system; using system.drawing; using system.windows.forms; public static class textnotifyicon { // it's hard phone call destroyicon() powershell only...
