powershell

That’s right! If you didn’t know, powershell is (nearly?) completely cross-platform.

I’ve recently been working on a server status script for work and I chose to do it in powershell. It does threaded pings, generates html files, etc.

With zero modifications at all the script runs flawlessly on both Ubuntu Linux and my Orange Pi. All I had to do was extract the powershell tarball, chmod +x pwsh and run the script.

Truly awesome.

What blew my mind was Powershell was markedly faster on my Pi than it was on my Ubuntu server.

I’ll be posting more about the script soon, as I need to figure out some things still. But it will be released in due time. I really like it!
