A three line AppleScript applet could be created to generate a 'Desktop' based list, in '.txt' format, of all of ones '/usr/bin/' and '/usr/sbin/' commands.
Putting the above suggestion into practice, here are the total number of 'usr/bin/' and '/usr/sbin/' commands - in just several of my many boot able volumes / partitions:
Jaguar's (10.2.8): 602
Panther's (10.3.4): 712
Panther's (10.3.9): 719
Tiger's (10.4.3): 944
Please note that the above total numbers do include several commands I created and / or downloaded, and placed into the '/usr/sbin/' folder. However, the numbers are accurate enough.
