UNIX commands are designed to be simple in the first place; they basically do one task per command. To make a more powerful sequence, just put (or pipe) several commands together in a sequence.

The ability to use many of the commands in different scenarios just by the command sequence is very powerful; the individual commands do not have to be that powerful or complex, but the result of using several of them in a row makes for a very powerful system.

Why do Unix commands perform simple tasks rather than more complex ones?

the unix phylosophy is "do a single job correctly" . due to this the authors / creatorscreated unix commands simpler. to do complex tasks the simpler commands are combined. for example head command is used to displasy the top ten or required number of lines from a file "file" tail commandis used to displasy the lastten or required number of lines from a file "file" but if i require to lines from 3rd line to 10th line i does not have the command to do this i combine head & tail commands head -10 file | tail -7 by rami reddy
