I haven't really had the chance to read through the comments, but I wanted to post my little list.
At work, we sometimes use non-gui applications for troubleshooting systems. We launch them from a command prompt though, not a console (whatever that is). Anyway, here's my list!
ping ---- We use this one A LOT. I don't know how it works exactly, but we use it to see if a system is up and running.
net view -------- If a test with ping is successful, we use this to see if the disks are all okay.
ipconfig -------- This has something to do with how we connect to the Internet.. often times running ipconfig/flushdns will fix everything right as rain.
edit ---- We can only use this program on certain systems. But it's good for viewing configuration files. I guess that makes it a text editor, like vim or something.
Well, that's all I can think of for now. My first post on Slashdot!!!
