What are your favorite non standard commands?
What are your favorite non standard commands on your NAS? In other words what have you installed with apt-get etc?
Here are mine:
And then there are all these clones with improvments like egrep instead of grep etc, yes mmv is also one of them.
I have probably forgot some that I use just because I take them for granted. And there are others that I would like to use but I just can't find an apt-get repositorie or they just don't exist for my NAS's cpu's architecture (example bdiff, 2bsd-diff and cbm).
Some other usefull commands, mostly related to network troubleshooting. With credits to user kossboss.
And don't forget that you usually can brake a Linux command with ctrl + c.
Even more bandwidth monitoring tools for Linux:

Here are mine:
- screen
- mmv - example removing last character before suffix: mmv "*?.php" "#1.php"
- bulkgetter, cached site
- htop

- ethtool - example ethtool -i eth0
- dstat - example dstat -ndyc
- mc -Midnight Commander inspired by Norton commander

I would use mail if I had configured it too. But I'll be trying to find what the NAS uses to send mails rather than having to install exim/postfix/sendmail along with mailutils.
Most of the commands I use are standard. - Fdupes is a great tool for finding and removing duplicate files.
Delete all dupes in a dir:fdupes -nfq . | while read i; do rm "$i" ; done
- If you add large Debian repositories for apt-get in
/etc/apt/sources.list
You will most likely get an error message like this:E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
On my old system the solution was to create an apt conf file and set a larger cache value:echo -n 'APT::Cache-Limit "20000000";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf
You might want to clean up before executing apt-get update:apt-get clean
