Some tools that I like and use frequently:

        find
        wget
        screen
        wc
        grep (and all the fun of regular expressions)
        awk
        sed

While not necessarily tools themselves, the following may also be interesting:

        Use of cron/crontabs
        Use of hosts.allow/deny to control access to network services

Or you could do some more advanced things with:

        find
        vi (and the fun things you can do with regular expressions there)
        bash scripting
        command pipelines
