command line function tests for Windows server

[DorkRawk]

I am trying to test some command line functions I have been writing for my page. Unfortunatly right now my page is hosted on a Windows based server and I haven't been able to move it to a UNIX based one yet. Can somebody recomend some good commands I can put into my exec() or shell_exec() or system() functions to test them out? I basicly just want something that will produce some simple output so I can make sure that I am returning values and I can manipulate them.

$url = "google.com";
$filename = "afile.txt";

$dir_output = `dir "c:\" `;           // directory listing
$ping_output = `ping "$url" `;
$trc_output = `tracert"$url" `;
$type_output = `type "$filename" `;   // text file contents

echo "<pre>";

echo "$dir_output <br> 
          $ping_output <br> 
          $trc_output <br>
          $type_output";

echo "</pre>";
