List of Command Line Tools

[Bryan O'Neal]

I'll be honest I have been reading this and going "oh yha, that is a good
one" but I have never heard of screen until now

I am surprised, with all these great command line tools that have been
mentioned no one has yet to mention screen, an almost vital component in my
toolbox for command line usage.

Other programs I use that I don't believe I've seen mentioned:

rtorrent - Torrents
mcabber - Jabber tool (connected to gchat) uudeview - used to decode binary
files from newgroups

I've tried both tin and slrn for newsgroup reading, both work great for
text, but for some reason seem to fail at binary newgroup usage in my
opinion (been over a year since I used newsgroups though so couldn't say off
the top of my head why now). I've found nget works great for pure binaries
though.

I've been trying to find a really good imap based command line email client
that blends almost perfectly with gmail and it's inability to accurately
implement imap according to the RFCs (basically something that does similar
to thunderbird but via command line instead). I've tried mutt, but it
generated extra emails whenever I send for some reason (they appear in my
inbox as replies of my email for some reason, causing unnecessary clutter).
