Terminal

From MacThemes Theming Wiki

A typical Terminal process running in Leopard. Note the "$" sign, signaling that Terminal is running the Bash shell.

Terminal (also referred to as Terminal.app) is a terminal emulator included in Apple's Mac OS X operating system. The application allows the user to interact with the computer through a command line interface. On Mac OS X, Terminal is located in the /Applications/Utilities folder.

Despite Terminal's imposing look, its an extremely powerful program, and the only way to access certain features of the Mac OS X. Many powerusers utilize Terminal because of its fast response time (due to the lack of a graphical interface), and because chaining commands is so easy.
