🚀 Usage Examples

Before Enhancement

# Limited functionality
ask "show cpu"
pslist

After Enhancement

# Rich shell experience with Git branch
/home/user/netmon (main) $ 

# Create workflow aliases
alias daily-check "health && alerts 10"

# Use piping
pslist | search python > python_procs.txt

# Monitor with alerts
set-threshold cpu 75 90
health  # Triggers alerts if thresholds exceeded

# Search logs quickly
search "error" /var/log/syslog

# Track everything
history
sessions
alerts 20
