Plenty on this list are well known but there are some nice ones that either I'd forgotten about or didn't know :
column, ss, comm, fc
I'd add the following to the list : printf , bc
Also, "ddate" is fun. I had no idea and just spent an enjoyable 10 minutes looking it up.
Thanks for posting this.
- Groxx 13y agoSince you seem to know what "ss" is, mind if I ask for a link? It's rather hard to search for :/

- banachtarski 13y ago> Plenty on this list are well known... My thoughts exactly. Time, df, du, iostat, watch, htop, wget, tmux, .... Really?
- nknighthb 13y agoMost people know only the bare minimum to move files around. Not everyone has spent their life on a nix command line. And I don't even know why you'd think iostat, watch, htop, or tmux would be well-known amongst anyone other than sysadmins and long-time nix power users. And tmux didn't even exist five years ago.
- alextingle 13y ago'watch' is so awesomely useful. Everyone should know it.
- banachtarski 13y agoFair enough. 5 years is a long time in the tech world to me. Tons of things change in that time. I'm not a sysadmin, and I'm not against educating people about these tools. I'm also not saying the exact inverse of the original statement (that everybody knows these). What I am saying is that it's a stretch to say they aren't well known. Call it "intermediate linux usage" or something.

- INTPenis 13y agoI only recently learned about ioping, which I think would fit into that list well.
