What are your favorite Powershell Cmdlets? [closed]


there's an out-twitter script i use for posting to twitter. it's nice, as it means you can send something to twitter without the risk of being distracted by a browser.

i added an alias for it, "twit".

so now you can type, for example:

PS C:\>"trying out stack overflow" | twit

and if successfully lodged, it will return an integer that identifies your post.


As a programmer/hacker, Get-Member and Get-Command are the ones I use more than any others, but the ones I use to show off are Select-Control and Send-Keys from WASP, the PowerGadgets, and some of my own stuff written in WPF against CTP2 or PoshConsole ;-)

Weather in PoshConsole


Get-Member, hands down. No, it's not very glamorous, but the ability to inspect objects interactively beats interrupting your work to go hit up MSDN.
