CLIX (’Command Line Interface for OS X’) is a Cocoa application that makes it
easier to harness the power of Unix. The CLIX 1.4 package includes a starter
database file with over 400 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 important, 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 backyard, 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
command exchange for in-depth discussion of Unix and the CLIX commands.

This single program obviates all the system optimisers out there, is an
excellent way for newbies to learn Unix, and becomes a very handy ‘rolodex’
for the admin professional.

Now has 468 [sic] startup commands. If you can’t do it with CLIX, you can’t do
it, period.
