You will love the new shell named Powershell!

  • Artikel

When I installed Windows SDK to test Indigo stuff, I found another toy named Powershell. Powershell is the new name of MSH code named Monad. It is a shell or command interpreter based on .NET framework.
I thought the cmd.exe shell is too simple for practical uses. But, Powershell is simply great!. It is easy, simple, and powerful. It also gives an interactive script development environment that I missed from VB or Jscript. For me, it looks like a Scheme or Lisp interpreter that I learnt and loved at college. Moreover, I think it gives good enough features to manage systems..Now I’m considering using a text based editor like vi, emacs, or qeditor again..:-)
You can download Powershell standalone here.
It will be great if Powershell provider or cmdlet (command let) for BizTalk Server would be provided. (If I have sometime I’d like to make some sample codes for BizTalk Server management.)
Try the new shell, and I believe you will love it!

    What do you mean cmd.exe is too simple for practical uses .... I wrote an entire multi-application deployment application on top of a dozen batch scripts (supports file copy / windows + cluster services / multi-destination / archival) ... :-p ... plus scripts to run multi-threaded backups on our file servers ... cmd.exe rocks!

    Though powershell is so sweet i'll finally be able to ressurrect my developer skills and put them to a good sys admin use ... :-p

    Sorry I was wrong. You are right. I'd like to correct the sentence as follows:
    "For me the scripts for cmd.exe are sometimes too complex to follow". :-)
