Product Description:
CLIX (Command Line Interface for OS X) is a Cocoa application that harnesses the power of Unix. It's perfect for the pros and can be helpful for the noobs too.
The CLIX package includes a starter database file with over 1,600 system commands for investigating your system status, for cleaning out junk files, for getting at esoteric secret settings in your most used applications - and more.
And most importantly, CLIX is infinitely extensible: you can add to it at any time, in any way you please - add new commands, new command categories, new command database files, and so on.
And unlike other systems, CLIX is 100% 'WYSISYG' (what you see is what you get): it's exactly the command lines you would use at a terminal if you were so inclined. So sometime you might remember a command or two and try it on your own.
CLIX comes with commands for viewing all your system logs, for cleaning out browser caches, for pruning and fixing 'plist' preference files, for spelunking in root's back yard, for ridding your system of all kinds of junk, for seeing what your virtual memory is up to, what your Netinfo database manager is up to, and on and on.
CLIX also has its own newsletter and forum (www.dotatdot.co.uk/clix/) for in-depth discussion of Unix and CLIX. Today CLIX is all around safer than Terminal.app.

beware of Rixstep - Version: 1.8.1c, 4/13/2008 10:36AM PST

I am running the whole suite from more than 1 year.
I was not able to update: so I was buying a new one.
BUT ......
Rixstep closed me my IP: site polling. I explained to Rixstep that I am utilizing Speed Dowload and Intego. It did not send me any answer. (I am wayting back for my 70 $).
It is a pity.

Some commands will not work - Version: 1.8.1c, 2/13/2008 12:00AM PST

If you run a command through sudo and have it's standard error output redirected to a file, the command will "run" forever with no results. It seems to me that Clix treats password request as standard error output, and in this case simply redirects it where it's not supposed to (the file to which you redirect the output will have the following content "Password:"). Obviously, after that, the rest of the command never runs. If you want to see it yourself, try, for example:
sudo echo 'This text should be displayed' 2> ~/Desktop/std_err_output.txt
It works in Clix 1.8.1.c and earlier, OSX 10.5, 10.4, 10.2. (I have tried it in the free version of Clix only, not the ACP version.)
