Windows power users have always envied their friends running UNIX machines
for the ease of automation that they enjoy. The traditional Windows command-line
shell, cmd.exe, has never been up to par with shells like bash or tcsh, especially
when it comes to text processing and process automation.
Windows PowerShell changes all that. This next-generation shell is also a full-blown
scripting environment with a real programming language that allows users to
access every part of their operating system. Files, registry entries, and COM
and .NET objects are all supported by PowerShell, which makes manipulating them
a breeze.
Pro Windows PowerShell will show you how to use all this power in your own
work. You’ll discover the object-oriented features of the shell and how
they help in extracting and manipulating data. You’ll then learn how to
use those features to solve real-world problems: manipulating files, working
with text, monitoring systems, and performing operations over the network. The
book serves as not only a tutorial, but also a reference: the “Real World”
part is structured so that it can be read nonlinearly and used as a reference
or a cookbook. And you’ll find freely available tools and extensions that
will help you do things even faster.
Pro Windows PowerShell is your best companion to the capabilities and power
that PowerShell offers you.
What you’ll learn
• See how to solve real problems with Windows PowerShell using a repository
of working code.
• Get a sense of “the big picture,” with PowerShell integrating with
the outside world. You will discover examples and techniques when dealing with
other programs, the operating system, and the network.
• Explore free and open-source tools and extensions that help you get results
with Windows PowerShell fast. (No other book has this feature!)
Who is this book for?
Pro Windows PowerShell is targeted at professionals who handle a lot of repetitive
tasks. The goal is to show how PowerShell can help script most of those tasks
and reduce their burden. The book contains examples on automating typical system
administration tasks: configuration, monitoring, network queries, text manipulation,
and file operations. The ideas presented will be beneficial to power users needing
a better shell and an automation environment, system and network administrators
looking to streamline their daily activities, and software developers wishing
to optimize their build and deploy process.
