I believe but am probably wrong that MSH/Monad is from Longhorn. But don't take my word on that.

MSH, Microsoft Shell - Code named Monad - is Microsofts next gen shell extension. While I dont know a whole lot about it, its supposed to give you more low level access like perl and unix type scripting. The idea is to catch up with the pipe/filter approach that most non-windows platforms take where one command can take input from anywhere and output to anywhere including another command like find and grep. The pieces are of course not really executables but more of classes of .net objects which would talk to each other. While unix, linux, and other cmd line biased operating systems have been developing GUI crap as an interface to their main scripting system, Microsoft has notoriously been more focused on GUI replacing the scripting subsystem. Now they have seen the light and are trying to make up for not sticking to their roots.

I have a question

Will the MSH require a perticular compiler or can it be written in default Editor (notepad) and run by just clicking such as VBScript.

Thanks

quote:

...

New-style commands (or commandlets, as they are called in Longhorn) are .NET libraries (plus associated .msh or .cmdlet file) that consist of classes driving from CmdLet.

...

For example, you can enter
get/process | where "handlecount -gr 400" | sort handlecount | format/table processname,handlecount
You get:
ProcessName HandleCount
---------------- ---------------
processname handlecount
... ...

...

The new shell, as it stands now, is not very usable as a routine interactive shell, so, at least in this build, you'll gravitate back to the familiarity and simplicity of cmd.exe

...

So more of a CSCript type of way
