CLIX

As a software review, allow me to introduce an application that will make Unix feel more accessible: CLIX ('command line interface'). This Cocoa application not only simplifies the use of Unix, but also comes bundled in a package with a starter database file containing over 218 system commands. These commands range from investigating your system status to cleaning out junk files, all the way to accessing obscure settings in your frequently used applications.

What will be of most interest to many users is the fact that CLIX is infinitely extensible. Users can easily add to the program at any time, using any method they please. Unlike other systems, CLIX ensures that what you see is what you get (WYSISYG). The commands you find in CLIX match exactly what you would find at a terminal had you used command lines previously.

Adding to its many features, CLIX comes equipped with commands for logging your system, clearing browser caches, pruning 'plist' preference files, exploring the root user's workspace, cleaning all kinds of junk files, and more. This application makes viewing what your virtual memory is up to or managing your Netinfo database manager simple, and an overall breeze to complete.

Overall, CLIX is a great application for Unix users, allowing them to manage their system to their exact specifications. Its expandability, combined with the bundled commands, makes it a comprehensive suite of tools for managing your system.
