WinUtils
Small utility commands to improve the poor standard Windows command line cmd (PowerShell probably does better).
sleep
Add sleep functionality to Windows standard shell (can't believe they didn't do it!)
sleep 1 (sleeps 1 second)
sleep /ms 500 (sleeps half a second)
mcopy
Allows copy resume of partially-copied file. Very handy when you have to transfer big files over a poor network connection.
Currently handles only one file (standard copy
command works fine for multiple files).
/y
will overwrite destination if it already exists.
/c
will continue copy at the end of destination, after checking that the last 8KB are the same.
mcopy [/y] [/c] source destination
niceio
Allows changing disk I/O priority, from Very Low (0), Low (1) or Normal (2).
niceio <PID> [0|1|2]
If "priority" is not given, current priority will be printed. N.B. that it uses unofficial, undocumented Windows API that might change in later version (but it's working on my Windows 10 laptop :)).
While you cannot boost a specific PID, you can lower the priorities of other disk-hungry PIDs.
