My top ten most used shell commands...

[GreyGeek]

I got curious after reading an article about it and entered on a Konsole this command:

jerry@sonyvgnfw140e:~$ history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head
108 bzr
95 sudo
65 locate
59 man
46 vdir
40 exit
36 cd
23 cat
22 gpg
17 lshal
jerry@sonyvgnfw140e:~$

What's yours?

Re: My top ten most used shell commands...

Either your CLI command is faulty, or I don't have something you have. When I run your command (copied and pasted) in a console, I get:

paul@mybrainonlinux:~$ history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a " " i}}' | sort -rn | head
awk: (FILENAME=- FNR=158) fatal: attempt to use array `a' in a scalar context

lol

You've been "forumed"

Notice how the text changes from regular to italics at an odd spot

Well, put [ i ] (spaces added for obvious reason 8) ) in the suspect location and the command works.

Not: history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a " " i}}' | sort -rn | head

but: history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a [ i ]" " i}}' | sort -rn | head -> spaces added again

lol...


Here's mine:

stuart@office:~$ history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a [ i ]" " i}}' | sort -rn | head
310 sudo
282 ls
177 cat
99 ll
97 locate
87 cd
38 free
27 mount
27 la
22 top
stuart@office:~$

Clearly, I use the CLI more than GG plus my alias file is being put to good use!

Okay, using your command, copied and pasted, I now get:

paul@mybrainonlinux:~$ history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a [ i ]" " i}}' | sort -rn | head
23 exit
22 dir
12 cd
9 clear
7 ls
6 sudo
6 show
6 nano
6 cat
5 simI
paul@mybrainonlinux:~$

show and simI are aliases in my .bash_aliases file. And, I use the console a fair amount too.

Here's my list.

286 sudo
36 man
31 gksu
18 cd
10 sensors
8 ls
6 service
6 cat
5 lspci
4 wget

Re: My top ten most used shell commands...

Do I need to be embarrassed if "sensors-detect" showed up in my list?

[Detonate]

Re: My top ten most used shell commands...

No. I am having problems getting my sensors detected. I've run sensors-detect weekly to check. My sensors work fine in Fedora 13. They don't work in Lucid. But that's a different thread.

257 echo

And maybe mount even if it isn't there.

Re: My top ten most used shell commands...

glxgears and glxinfo? Did you have any problems with your graphics card?

True!

And I don't use cmake, like Bruce does. I use QtCreator but you'll notice how often I use the version control system, bzr (baazar) to version changes in software I'm supporting.

Don't look now - your sensors are showing!

Sorry for the delay in my quip - out of town...
