Huh? It's a very specific thing. When you run stuff on Powershell, you pipe it to 'select' or 'where' and pick fields, rather than running grep / sed / awk and inventing regexs to scrape stuff.

    ps | where {$_.StartTime -ge $1HourAgo}

Before accusing me of 'TCO speak' and being 'ungenuine' - for mentioning something that's a well known engineering concept, particularly in the Unix world (ever used TeX?), you could have done <1 minute of research.

If someone created a solid port of PowerShell to nix it would be a god-send.
