You can easily discover the cmdlets suitable for a specific job with the help of a little function:
function ??($keywords) {
Get-Help * |
? { $_.description -like "*$keywords*" } |
Select-Object Name, Synopsis
}
Get-Help * |
? { $_.description -like "*$keywords*" } |
Select-Object Name, Synopsis
}
This "??" function searches for keywords inside of the Help description of each cmdlet. You can also use keywords in your own language since Help files are localized. Check it out:
?? shutdown
?? print
?? random
?? random
