Command Line tools

Is a log file viewer with some great features for search, syntax highlighting, and in / out filtering, that makes it realy quick to understand the information in a log file.

Htop

Termshark is a A terminal UI for tshark, inspired by Wireshark About it. It seems the doccuments are a bit sparse. If there is anythign that is unclear, it is probably something that can be looked up in the wireshark docs.. like what scale a suration number is in etc. these are just concepts taken directly from wireshark.
