Is there a common term for GUI applications that wrap a command-line program?

It happens everywhere with desktop programs and scripts: a GUI application wraps some command-line program to provide a visual experience to its functionality. Is there a common term that describes this kind of GUI application?

I'm looking for a technical one or two-word term, not just "command-line wrapper application," etc.
