PowerShell has a built-in feature for this: Proxy commands.
The [System.Management.Automation.ProxyCommand] class has several static methods to help out with this. Below is a template you can use to generate a proxy command and add a condition choosing whether or not to call the original command.
function New-ProxyCommand($command)
{
$cmd = Get-Command $command
$blocks = @{
CmdletBinding = [System.Management.Automation.ProxyCommand]::GetCmdletBindingAttribute($cmd)
Params = [System.Management.Automation.ProxyCommand]::GetParamBlock($cmd)
Begin = [System.Management.Automation.ProxyCommand]::GetBegin($cmd)
Process = [System.Management.Automation.ProxyCommand]::GetProcess($cmd)
End = [System.Management.Automation.ProxyCommand]::GetEnd($cmd)
}
# Indent
filter Indent($indent=' ') { $_ | foreach { ($_ -split "`r`n" | foreach { "${indent}$_" }) -join "`r`n" } }
[array]$blocks.Keys | foreach { $blocks[$_] = $blocks[$_] | Indent }
@"
function $command
{
$($blocks.CmdletBinding)
param
($($blocks.Params)
)
begin
{
`$Reroute = `$false ### Put your conditions here ###
if (`$Reroute) { return }
$($blocks.Begin)}
process
{
if (`$Reroute) { return }
$($blocks.Process)}
end
{
if (`$Reroute) { return }
$($blocks.End)}
}
"@
}
Example:
PS> New-ProxyCommand Get-Item
function Get-Item
{

if ($Reroute) { return }
try {

if ($PSBoundParameters.TryGetValue('OutBuffer', [ref]$outBuffer))
