You're getting closer but that's still not it.

One more hint:
Quote:Confirm scaling.

I guess sed didn't fit the bill?
You gotta have it if you wanna Unix properly.

I think this has not yet been answered.

Unless I am terribly mistaken, that should be...
awk

Shame nobody before me got that. It is such a lovely tool.

Maybe I even registered just to say that. And yes, I know I am late.

Those two riddles remain unanswered.

Maybe `echo WGZjZQo= | base64 -d`?

How do I make this "show" element?

No this isn't it.
I've added a new clue in an earlier post.

Refer to the codes here for the spoiler: https://nixers.net/misc.php?action=help&hid=9

Nope, this isn't it.
Maybe this hint will help more:
It's related to management and it's not frequently used because you can use something else instead.

No, this is a single command, not one plus arguments.

Last hint:
I spell group: grp.

here's a new simple riddle to kick this back alive:
Quote:I am a filesystem, though non existent on disk
I am supported by many Unix-like OS, one in particular adds things to me.
I take a concept and summon it as a file.

That is a line.

One wrong character, and it all goes away,
but without me, almost everything would stay,
Forums, Noobs, and I don't go together,

It even rhymes! :)

rm? with rm -r?

I was thinking rm -rf but -r by itself would work well enough, the cousin is rmdir =]

Super fun browsing through this thread.

So that's the only one that hasn't been resolved.
It's hard but let's guess.
ls
However I'm not sure about that last part "line", however it gives the size of files and content of directories.

I was too fuzzy in the description, and it needs a clue:
size content_well_not_quite\n...

Err... I may not be that good at explaining.
That is one line of output of the program:
Code:
<content> <size> <name>

If you did not know the command before, it will still be challenging.

Last clue: it is in POSIX
