 What you ask for is not feasible to provide in an e-mail.

While this is not exactly a complete list of FreeBSD 5.2 commands, not
even exhaustive, it is remarkably comprehensive:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi

Then click on 1, 2, etc.

(I had no idea that man.cgi also had manpages for ports until I
embarrased myself on ports@ just now for not noticing.  Perhaps this
would be something nice to mention in the Handbook, for those who want
to read docs on ports/packages they are considering, before they install
them?)

If you run bash shell, you can also hit tab twice on an empty line and
answer yes to displaying the many possibilites.  :)

What you ask for is not feasible to provide in an e-mail.  There are
as many commands as there are programs available to run on
FreeBSD-5.2, which is at least of the order of tens of thousands.
Then there are a huge number of command line switches and options to
modify the behaviour of those.  You can find everything on your system
that might be run as a command by:

# find -H  / -type f -perm +0111 -print

But you'll have to go through that list carefully and eliminate
various shared-objects and shared libraries which aren't actually
possible to run stand-alone.

If you mean just what is part of the base system, then:

# find -H /bin /sbin /boot /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/libexec \
-type f -perm +0111 -print 

You'll probably need to add a few more directories to that list to
get everything.

Cheers,

Matthew

It is difficult to know what you mean by commands, or complete
for that matter.

ls /bin

will yield a list of basic commands.

ls /sbin

gives the basic system utilities.

All of the shells have builtins (see man builtin) but they
vary according to shell.  Completeness would certainly include
the builtin for sh (the default shell) and csh.

In theory,

ls /usr/bin

gives a list of applications, but some of them are really
essential to any real-world installation.
