Shebangs are used throughout Linux, and would be great to create as automatically as possible.

It should be easy to create a Shebang based off of a PowerShell script or function, and also easy to create a shebang based off of script files written in another language.

ugit has been a great approach for console commands.

PipeScript inheritance makes this fairly simple to implement.

PowerNix should start overriding more unix commands and parsing output where possible.

There's stuff only Linux can do well, and stuff only PowerShell can do well.

We should find the overlap and build the best examples we can.

Get-NixDistro should give information about the current Linux distro.

Looks like there is an issue with parsing the non standard date time

Get-NixMount returns two empty properties: TargetPath and SourceName.

Get-NixMount | Select * reveals that these should be MountPoint and Device (respectively)

If a given command is based off of Get-Content (and the file content is likely to change), it should proxy the following parameters from Get-Content:

• ReadCount
• Tail
• TotalCount
• Wait

Additionally, any code that converts output to objects should "stream" output, rather than assign it to a temporary variable or an array.

Implementing these changes will increase the flexibility of the commands.

This should likely use the options _netdev and x-systemd.after=network-online.target

We should have a command to Get-NixLogs.

It should handle several different log formats, and use the first line / name of the log to detect which format to use.

It should also be "smart aliased", so that calling it with a well-known log name will get results from that log (e.g. sys.log)

It would be nice to provide some filtering parameters, though these should probably be limited.

Get-NixLog does not seem to work in the v0.0.4.
