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 ;-)
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.
