Description

Hello!

If I connect via enter-pssession to a remote host and execute icinga, I get the following error:

[hostname]: PS C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework> icinga

It works as expected within direct connections.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by running icinga inside Enter-PSSession, then inspect line 343 of icinga-powershell-framework.psm1 and compare it with a direct connection. The work is done when the management console starts and accepts input in a remote session without the reported XML, noninteractive-mode, or command-not-found errors.
