Microsoft Command Shell Monad (msh), a powerful shell scripting environment
for Vista has been formally renamed as Windows PowerShell. They have even
changed the name of the shell program msh.exe with PowerShell.exe while the
new file extension is .ps1
For those not familiar, Monad or Windows Powershell is powerful command line
shell (like CMD.exe or BASH, KSH, CSH) plus a scripting language (like Perl,
SED, AWK) with one major difference - contrary to cmd.exe and Unix/Linux
shells, Monad operates on objects, not text when passing data between
scripts and executables. Here are some practical examples of using the Monad
Shell vs Korn Shell:
Example 1: Change the case of a string from lower to upper
ksh: $ echo "this is a string" | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]
MSH> "this is a string".ToUpper()
Example 2: To stop all processes that begin with the letter "p"
ksh: $ ps -e | grep " p" | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs kill
MSH> get-process p* | stop-process
Example 3: Insert string "ABC" after the first character in the word
"string"
ksh: $ echo "string" | sed "s|\(.\)\(.*)|\1ABC\2|"
MSH> "string".Insert(1,"ABC")
Windows Powershell supports Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows
XP Operating systems but requires the .NET Framework Version 2.0
Redistributable Package preinstalled. PS won't be shipped with Vista or
Windows Server 2007 but it will debut with Exchange 12
