bex

Ever forget the sed one-liner to remove double newlines? Or the parameters to create an SSH tunnel? Bex is a very simple tool to remember your favorite commands and the command line switches you like to call them with. It comes with a small set of sane defaults and the rest is up to you. Enjoy ;)
