Command Line

Newbies may never have heard of a Command Line Interface, but those of us that have been using computers for a LONG time certainly are familiar with the term, and many Linux users use Command Line interfaces even now.

If you have ever been yearning for a command line interface to the web, then yubnub may be what you are looking for.

For example random 100 will pick a random number between 1 and 100. man random will display help for the "random" command (this is quintensential Linux). ls will display all available commands. areacode will do a lookup based on area code. weather 76145 will display weather for zip code 76145. dict will do a dictionary search at dict.com. bn will search Barnes and Noble for a book. netcraft will display what a site is running, for example check out netcraft tcs.org. art will search the Web Gallery of Art for a text string. lorem will generate a requested number of "Lorem Ipsum" paragraphs. bible will do a Bible search (e.g. John 3:16), keyword (e.g. Jesus, prophet, etc.) or topic (e.g. salvation) you want to find.
