Maybe this is more widely known and somehow I missed it for 15 years... but I've never seen it in an example or demonstrated to me.
Today I randomly happened to try "!" on a selector to negate it:
> vol move -vserver svmname -phase !completed
and it shows you moves in progress that are not completed.
So, what is this construct called? I ask because now I want to be able to look up what other things support it and if there are any other operators besides "!".

!completed = Not Completed
vol show -volume !vol0,!*root*
sho volumes that are NOT vol0 and NOT *root*

I show customers this all the time and it blows their minds 🙂

Agreed. Especially the long timers that think they know everything

the {... } queries are especially powerful (moving many LIFs or Volumes around etc.)

Too bad it doesn’t work with other things.
Like “cron create -hour 0…23”
You need to specify every hour, comma separated

Great, thanks!

I know I don't know everything, which is why I asked. :)

... yeah wish I'd known that one a few weeks ago. Oh well.
And somehow I picked up on >,<,>= operators along the way. Just couldn't muster the google-fu to find this documentation.

Put it into a login script in your terminal emulator
Another handy one for checking the event log entries in the last x amount of time.
Example: Show all event log entries from the last 10 minutes.
event show -time >10m
Also, not as widely know is the -sort-by, but you have to be in diag mode.
Example: Show all volumes sorted by vserver and then by size (GB).
set d -c off -un gb;vol show * -sort-by vserver,size;set adm -c on -un auto
Weird that -sort-by is in diag mode, because no I never saw that before!

And it’s 100% hidden in that it does not even tab out!
I think I speak for EVERYONE in that it should be in the standard “admin” command listing

This!! It will never be harmful to sort output. So why in diag...

diag mode is not (only) about "harmful" commands. Just look at the options to nfs modify in admin vs. diag mode. Almost nothing in there is harmful
