Indeed. I'm still amazed at the number of commands in FreeBSD that I
never knew existed.
Take rs(1), for example. Would never have found it had I not mistyped
something and had tcsh suggest it as a misspelling.
Someone needs to do a "Command of the month" section on DaemonNews, in
which an enterprising hacker takes an obscure command (tsort(1) is another
one) and shows all sorts of useful uses it can be put to.
