A race condition can be this small:
if Assigned(Setting.OnChanged) then Setting.OnChanged(Setting);
If in between these lines, the value of Setting.OnChanged becomes nil, then you have an access violation.
It is a very slim, but real chance.

Cool tip by mjolinor to execute the scripts 1.ps1, 2.ps1 and 3.ps1 from a master.ps1 script in the same directory:
&"$PSScriptroot\1.ps1"
&"$PSScriptroot\2.ps1"
&"$PSScriptroot\3.ps1"
Source: [WayBack] scripting – Run Multiple Powershell Scripts Sequentially – on a Folder – Combine Scripts into a Master Script – Stack Overflow.
It uses $PSScriptroot which got introduced in PowerShell 2 in modules and extended in PowerShell 3 to be available in all scripts. More information in [WayBack] about_Automatic_Variables | Microsoft Docs

Since “esxi write entry to syslog” didn’t return results on how to add new syslog entries, only how to configure syslog.
It was much easier than I hoped for:
logger TEST
With a default configuration this then ends up in /var/log/syslog.log:
grep TEST /var/log/syslog.log

Now I know the command, I found
