Recently I was sitting at Heathrow airport, surfing via a t-mobile hotspot. The website of the t-mobile hotspot told me that I could conveniently surf using my existing t-mobile cell-phone account and that it would cost me 0.12€ per minute. I like the idea, however I wanted to know how much money I actually spent. I searched for a widget that would let me track the time, but I couldn't find one.

QuickCommand is a dashboard application with which you can quickly execute your four most favorite UNIX commands.

The commands that will be executed via the buttons are configurable in the usual widget configuration style. The output of each command is shown in the output window.
