Eagle Mode is a C++ GUI toolkit and provides a zoomable user interface (ZUI) usable as desktop shell even. It functions as filesystem browser and manager, and seamlessly runs integrated applications. Images, text files and office documents can be zoomed in, audio and video files engaged as well. Built-in widgets like an archiver, chess and 3D minesweeper games, a clock, fractal imaging examples integrate likewise.
Dateutils are a bunch of tools that revolve around fiddling with dates and times in the command line, with a strong focus on use cases that arise when dealing with large amounts of financial data. Their target market is shell scripts that need date calculations or calendar conversions, and as such they are highly pipe-able and modeled after their well-known cousins (e.g. dtest vs. test, or dgrep vs. grep).
Do you write Bash scripts that are supposed to accept arguments? Aren't you tired of that? getopt is discouraged, getopts doesn't support long options, there is no widely-accepted Bash module to do the task and some solutions don't work on all platforms (Linux, OSX, MSW)... Give a Argbash a try, benefit from the online generator and stop being terrorized by those pesky arguments!

Harvest is a compact, fast and portable software that can scan files and folders to recognise their typology. Scanning is based on file extensions and a simple fuzzy logic analysis of folder contents to recognise if they are related to video, audio or text materials. Harvest makes it easy to list folders by type or year, to move them or to categorize them for tagged filesystems. It can process approximately 1GB of stored files per second and is operated from the console terminal. Harvest is de
Wcd is a command-line program to change directory fast. It saves time typing at the keyboard. One needs to type only a part of a directory name and wcd will jump to it.

View and edit files in hexadecimal or in ASCII
EndTeX is an attempt to overcome EndNote's refusal to support BibTeX. It is run instead of BibTeX with the same options. When run it scans the .aux file for bibliography files and then looks for a matching file with a .txt suffix (eg bibfile.txt) which it assumes is an EndNote bibliography in the correct format. It then parses it into a BibTeX bibliography and finally runs BibTeX.
Tomb is a system to make strong encryption easy for everyday use. A tomb is like a locked folder that can be safely transported and hidden in a filesystem. Its keys can be kept separate; for example, you can keep the tomb on your computer and its key on a USB stick. Tomb is written in code that is easy to review and links shared components: it consists of a ZShell script and desktop integration apps; it uses standard GNU tools and the crypto API of the Linux kernel (dm-crypt) via cryptsetup.
Shuriken is a tool to facilitate the tedious task of copying config files and ssh keys across servers; it follows a new minimalist approach generating scripts in the clipboard and ready to paste in a terminal, instead of dealing with file transfers and file permissions.

Frams' Shell Tools is a big collection of various (mostly Perl) scripts to make UNIX everyday life at the command line interface more comfortable. They have grown in the author's last 25 years as a Unix user, programmer, and administrator. Some examples are: clp (Command Line Perl: a Perl "shell"), fpg (Frams' Perl grep: a grep with full Perl support), zz (generic clipboard), and vv (visual versioning: automatic backups with any editor)
Bash is the GNU Project's shell. Bash is the Bourne Again SHell. Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive use. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without modification.
mulle-bootstrap, cross platform dependency manager using bash and cmake... for Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, Windows... for C, C++, Objective-C. Check if any of those apply to you: You program in C, C++ or in Objective-C. You need to link against a library, that clashes with an installed library. You feel that apt-get install pollutes your system with too many libraries. You don't like developing in virtual machines. You like to decompose huge projects into reusable libraries. You do cross-platform de
Shell Script Loader is a framework for shell scripts that provides functions that can be used to load, include or call module shell scripts. It supports most shells including Bash, Zsh, Ksh, and other shells based on sh. A compiler can also be used.
A build tool in the spirit of Make, but with two features that set it apart: (1) Parametrized rules: Like GNU Make's '%' character, but there can be multiple parameters, and they have names. The syntax is '$NAME', where NAME can be any string. (2) Dynamic dependencies: The dependencies of a target can be generated dynamically. When a dependency is enclosed in square brackets, it means that that file is built and dependencies are read from within that file.
Elm 2.4ME+ is based on Elm 2.4. It contains enhanced MIME and character set support. It can read mail from a local mbox and POP or IMAP folders and can pass mail to the PGP or GPG programs. It can also view digests as a mailbox and reassemble fragmented (message/partial) messages. It includes modules for TLS/SSL, iconv, and SMTP.
Launch commands, one drop at time. The purpose of OcLaunch is to easily launch command one by one. Since it's a command-line tool, you can use it almost everything, from GUI to CRON task. What is it? OcLaunch: Command-line program allowing you to launch program on a human basis. Don't let a clock plan things! For example, here is a typical session (you open a terminal emulator between each item): You open your first terminal, your chat client is opened, On second launch of a termina
luaprompt is both an interactive Lua prompt that can be used instead of the official interpreter, as well as a module that provides a Lua command prompt that can be embedded in a host application. As a standalone interpreter it provides many conveniences that are missing from the official Lua interpreter. As an embedded prompt, it's meant for applications that use Lua as a configuration or interface language and can therefore benefit from an interactive prompt for debugging or regular use.
Pipexec can build a complex pipe connection between processes. Instead of linear stdin/stdout pipes, it can open and route file descriptors in directed graphs, back and forth. It provides a terse and understandable option scheme like '{LS:1>GREP:0}' for setting them up.
Perl is a family of high-level, general-purpose, and dynamically interpreted programming languages. It borrows some syntax from C, Unix Shells, and AWK or SED, and more or less reinvented modern regular expressions. Perl 5 is the current mainstream version, with over 20 years of development. CPAN provides a modular packaging system, and allows Perl to be used for web applications, graphics programming, networking, system adminstration, and many sciency applications.

The MirBSD Korn Shell (mksh) is an actively developed successor of pdksh (the Public Domain Korn Shell), aimed at producing a shell good for interactive use, but with the primary focus on scripting. It is intended to be portable to most *nix-like operating systems as long as they're not too obscure. mksh incorporates improvements from OpenBSD and Debian, as well as bugfixes and enhancements developed for the MirOS, FreeWRT, and MidnightBSD projects and Android. The emacs command line editing mod
