Hmm...

dd, sh, cat, df, du, less, tail, which, head, cut, awk, sed, ex, vi, rm,
cp, mv, sort.

Here is a semi useful combination of some of the above:

du -sh `du -sb * |sort -rn | awk '{print $2}'` |head

Shows the disk usage of your directory sorted by file size, and the size
of the directories off of it, showing the sizes in human numbers (G, M, K)
