SSH PowerShell for the Masses.

Ah… Gmail is down, was down… errr! what is it now.  You’d think it was the end of the world according to people on Twitter.

Anyhow, considering that I had a few moments without the warm glow of Google Gmail goodness, I figured it would be a good time to talk about a recent post from Joel (huddledmasses.org).  Granted, I had hoped that time was on my side, and I could expand upon his post.  But, these past couple weeks have been a bit crazy (you know… beating up certain features of a certain pending OS).  :>)

Anyhow, his post is titled: “Scriptable SSH from PowerShell“.  Naturally, you can already image the grin on my face.  Yes, yet another open-source scriptable SSH resource (oh wait… there isn’t really any).  Sorry, kinda of a thing that bothered me when I was putting together a PowerShell SCP module (yes, I wanted free, otherwise it just didn’t seem right).

So… if you are looking for yet another great PSH SSH resource, check out his post.  Or, better yet, he posted it on poshcode.org.
