This particular thing is probably ready to be put to bed indeed, I'll just add one more thing that might be of help for somebody. Even though 'man' is a handy way of getting help, you could end up wondering what command you'll need, and if you don't know what it is (even though some executable names are pretty self-explanatory/easy-to-guess), it's difficult to open the man-page just like that. For those situations, try either of these:
Code:
man -k keyword
apropos keyword
where "keyword" is something you would expect to describe the command you're looking for. Those commands should then (hopefully) list some names you can try to use or read documentation about. And even if you had an idea of one executable that might be of help for you, see those if they revealed you more.
