doskey is the Windows cmd.exe equivalent of the Unix alias. '$*' means 'all parameters'

This example is like alias l='ls -alrt': it will display files from oldest to newest, for one or more directories.

doskey /MACROS list macros defined for cmd.exe, like 'alias' list aliases defined for the current Unix shell.

when I turn on my wifi, I always have to put in this command in order to make my laptop notice the wifi.

ps axww | grep SomeCommand | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs kill

User: philiph
Functions: awk grep ps xargs
-7

This command kills all processes with 'SomeCommand' in the process name. There are other more elegant ways to extract the process names from ps but they are hard to remember and not portable across platforms. Use this command with caution as you could accidentally kill other matching processes!

xargs is particularly handy in this case because it makes it easy to feed the process IDs to kill and it also ensures that you don't try to feed too many PIDs to kill at once and overflow the command-line buffer.

Note that if you are attempting to kill many thousands of runaway processes at once you should use 'kill -9'. Otherwise the system will try to bring each process into memory before killing it and you could run out of memory. Typically when you want to kill many processes at once it is because you are already in a low memory situation so if you don't 'kill -9' you will make things worse
