command line interface

IBM Developerworks: "The Friendly Interactive Shell, or fish, is a joy to use. Its syntax, context-sensitive help, and color-coded command-line interface (CLI) greatly simplify the use of UNIX and ease the burdens of scripting."

A new post to the Solar blog takes a look at a set of included tools the framework offers for working with command-line applications.

TuxArena: "A while ago I reviewed 6 GUI clients for IRC, so today I'll continue with the second part with this review of 5 CLI (Command Line Interface) clients."

I've often had to manipulate large blobs of text—no, make that many files containing large blobs of text.

Of course, my IDE can usually handle simple search-and-replace operations, I appreciate the simplicity of the command line interface, on most occasions.

It Wire: "In my last article I looked at gaming on Ubuntu Linux and concluded that it is alive and well!

Now we head back into the "useful" side of Linux. Linux has a bad reputation of having to use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to do anything really useful.

In this article I will talk about some graphical interfaces for tools to get those "useful" things done."

TuxArea: "This article reviews all the most common command line tools for manipulating and listening to audio formats on Linux.

Players, editors, encoders/decoders, tag editors, music servers, they are all here. Currently it includes no less than 18 CLI (Command Line Interface) tools."

PHP 4 has been with us (as "stable" release) since May 22nd, 2000. In the past 8 years it brought us lots of joy, but in the later years lots of pain.

A better PHP, PHP 5, as been a better alternative for close to 3 years now so it's time to get rid of the old stuff that PHP 4 really is.

PHP 4 had quite some changes over the past years though.

The main changes came with new mini releases:

4.1.0 (10 Dec 2001): The introduction of the super globals.

A couple months ago we started talking seriously about replacing CVS with a more advanced system for phpPgAdmin.

We looked around a little, but ended up going with Git.

On the Symfony blog today, Romain Dorgueil shows how to create tasks to help automate things in your application like database updates, console scripts or other "repetitive maintenance tasks".

The first time I played with Zenity, I recognized several potential uses for it.

While I'm pretty comfortable with interacting with computers with a command line interface, I know many people are not.

Zenity creates GUI widgets from a simple command line and can be used from any shell script.
