Here I beg to differ, while GUI applications are common things like
VCR applications and security loggers (with motion detection software) can
usefully be command line applications possibly with *no* user interface
(for example my vcr script is usually used in conjunction with at). The API
should most definitely *not* preclude use in this fashion, consider that
the ffmpeg, mencoder and transcode are not GUI applications.
