Running native commands via powershell

Hi,

Is there any ontap powershell cmdlet that allows you to run native commands on the filer.

For example: <powershell command> "node run <nodename> sysstat" (For c-mode) ? OR

<powershell command> "reallocate status" (For c-mode)

If you run sysstat (I would assume the same would apply to any command with similar functionality) without setting it to run for a specific number of cycles there is no way to send a break so it would just hang. I would be awesome to be able to run a full perfstat using this, it seems that the ssh client works way better than any other I have yet seen and would give the data collection a little boost in efficiency.
