#1:
PSH> ./ping|out-gauge -type digital
PSH> get-content ping.ps1
$computer="localhost"
$ping= new-object System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
$response=$ping.send($computer)
if ($response.Status -eq "Success")
{
$computer+" is up"
}
else
{
$computer+" is down"
}
#2:
Using .NET to get a random number:
PSH> $rand=new-object System.Random
PSH> $rand.Next(0,5) <--Gives a random number, only 0,1,2,3 or 4
3
PSH> $rand.Next(0,5)
4
PSH> $rand.Next(0,5)
