vCheck6 Utility Commands

08 Feb 2012

A quick video on the plugin utility commands found in vCheck 6! For more info, be sure to visit the vCheck 6 release page, and visit the vCheck Plugins page to browse the available plugins. Don't forget to thank Alan for all of his hard work on vCheck! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_xKCVXAq2E   If you are not the video watching type, here are some helpful tips: 1. In order to access the vCheck Utility Commands. You must 'dot-source' the file:
. .\vCheckUtils.ps1
That's dot[space]dot, for those reading this on a mobile device. ;) 2. The list of commands will display. The basic functionality is as follows:
Get-vCheckCommand # Get commands found in vCheckUtils.ps1
Get-vCheckPlugin # Retrieve list of plugins
Add-vCheckPlugin # Add plugin from Virtu-Al.net
Remove-vCheckPlugin  # Remove an installed plugin
3. Some common uses: List Plugins not installed(available from Virtu-al.net repository):
Get-VCheckPlugin -notinstalled
Get a plugin by name:
Get-VCheckPlugin -name "Plugin Name"
Get a plugin by name and install it from the Virtu-Al.net repository:
Get-VCheckPlugin -name "Plugin Name | Add-VCheckPlugin
Get a plugin by name and UNINSTALL it:
Get-VCheckPlugin -name "Plugin Name | Add-VCheckPlugin
Get all plugins that are NOT installed, and install them (warning, lots of plugins!):
Get-VCheckPlugin -notinstalled | Add-VCheckPlugin
