He’s giving simple examples everyone can quickly understand. When I show people the same advantage that PowerShell has over bash I pick harder problems where bash/gnu tools have no trivial answers. But then people get sour grapes and say “I don’t need to do that kind of thing anyway.” The reality of course is they avoid those harder problems and solve them manually or with different tools (Python). Sorting is as good example, because while commands like ‘ps’ have some built in sorting capability, it is limited and inconsistent with other tools. You can sort by some columns, but not others. Sorting by the same field is often a different option across different tools even if they manipulate the same objects, etc… If you would like a harder problem: kill every process on the machine run by the user “ash” that has used more than 1 hour of total CPU time but only those of his processes that are in the top 5 in the entire system by memory usage. Hint: Don’t kill anyone else’s processes by accident even if their user name is “flash” or if their process name is “bash”. Also don’t confuse instantaneous %CPU with total CPU usage. Did I say total CPU? Oops, I meant total kernel time used! My mistake. Update your a script, that should be a simple change… right?
