If you’re looking to get more out of your Windows PowerShell, then you need to learn how to use the cmdlets. cmdlets are a set of commands that allow you to do specific tasks with your computer. One great way to use cmdlets is by using them to automate tasks. This can help you save time and make your work easier. To get started, open a command prompt and type “powershell”. Then, type “get-help”. You’ll see a list of all the cmdlets that are available in Windows PowerShell. To find a particular cmdlet, type it into the command prompt and press return. For example, if you want to find out how to create a new object, you would type “get-object -name ‘NewObject’”. Once you’ve found a cmdlet that you want to use, there are several ways to use it. One way is by using theparameter. This parameter allows you to specify which task or action should be performed when the cmdlet is called. For example, if you want to add an item to the list of items in a collection, you would type “add-item -type text -list ‘items’”.
Linux power users and administrators have long used the tail utility to monitor log files, but did you know that you can do the same on Windows?
Traditionally tail has been used to view the bottom X number of lines from a log file. While Windows doesn’t have a standalone utility to do what tail does, we do have the Get-Content PowerShell cmdlet which happens to have a tail parameter.
Other extremely popular use for tail is using it to monitor logs, when used in this manner the log entry is printed to the console every time something writes to the log. This can be accomplished using the wait parameter.
That’s all there is to it.
