PowerShell Core
Hello,
what are your thoughts on PowerShell Core? It's open-source and cross-platform, but is also made by MS. |
|
||||
I've no direct knowledge of the software, but I know this particular MS team worked closely with the OpenBSD Project on integrating OpenSSH into it, as announced in the OpenBSD Journal: https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=arti...20150603090420
I recall that their developers submitted break/fix patches to the Project during that integration effort -- which were accepted and committed -- but I don't have a link handy at this time to show you proof. |

I don't know it, but I think it can be handy and useful for some people. Especially people who worked in Windows-only environments for many years, but now they must also do some administration on server/VPS with Unix-like OS.

It's very different but quite interesting.
While the *nix shells work with text & files, PowerShell works with objects instead. This can be quite useful when extracting information, for example to get the memory usage for my GNOME shell I can run Code:
PS /home/empty> Get-Process -name gnome-shell | % { $_.WS/1MB } 211.19140625 PS /home/empty> It's not particularly lightweight though: Code:
736.0 KiB + 43.5 KiB = 779.5 KiB mksh 129.2 MiB + 1.8 MiB = 130.9 MiB pwsh There seems to be a FreeBSD port in progress: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16707
