Taskmanagement in powershell

My favorite commands tasklist and taskkill are getting old. Time to get on the powershell bandwagon now when xp is losing its supported-status.

For tasklist-like results

/>get-process |where-object {$_.processname –like msiexec}

Where msiexec is queried process

For taskkill-like results

/>stop-process –name notepad

Where notepad is process to be killed.

Also nice to have

/>restart-computer

Which is pretty obvious. Restart immediatly on default. Use with scheduler for more use.
