wajig has evolved over several years of using and maintaining Debian systems. It attempts to capture in a single command line tool various things I commonly do that relate to managing the system. Many of the commands supported by wajig have been gleaned from hints and gossip on the mailing lists, and sometimes nuggets of useful information from the documentation.

Online documentation is available at http://wajig.togaware.com.

Dirk Eddelbuettel has also been incredibly helpful in sponsoring wajig for inclusion in Debian and in suggesting new commands. Also, many thanks to other users of wajig who have made suggestions over the years.
