Access advanced Unix features

I happened to fall on this nifty little utility this morning while roaming through Apple's Mac OS X downloads: Cocktail 1.0b3

It enables you to do all sorts of interesting things like

update prebinding information
run cron scripts
repair permissions
delete locked or unaccessible items
enable and disable journaling
delete archived log files
create symbolic links
view log files
change network card setting
request new lease from DHCP server
force empty trash
recreate alias to Mac OS 9 desktop
remove cache files
customize look and features of Finder and Dock
easily opitimize your system using Auto Pilot
