function Get-DbaWaitingTask {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Displays waiting task.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            This command is based on waiting task T-SQL script published by Paul Randal.
            Reference: https://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/updated-sys-dm_os_waiting_tasks-script-2/
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            The SQL Server instance. Server version must be SQL Server version XXXX or higher.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use:
 
            $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter.
 
            Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials.
 
            To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.
 
        .PARAMETER Spid
            Find the waiting task of one or more specific process ids
 
        .PARAMETER IncludeSystemSpid
            If this switch is enabled, the output will include the system sessions.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
            This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
            Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
