Your Top 10 Commands

Code:

[andy@hp ~]$ history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
     78 fortune
     65 sudo
     61 ls
     50 pacman
     37 man
     37 echo
     21 rm
     17 uname
     15 clear
     14 cd

 

Code:

[thomas@thomas-tablet ~]$ history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
    183 sudo
     77 ls
     67 nano
     49 cd
     35 make
     33 g++
     28 gst
     27 ruby
     27 emacs
     25 cat

 

Hm sure why not.

Code:

     62 cd
     56 ls
     39 make
     37 ssh
     37 cp
     31 time
     30 sudo
     19 ping
     13 nano
     12 kvm

Today I've mostly been (re)building openwrt, fiddling with my wndr3700, and running livecds in kvm.

 

This is a bit of an interesting thread

Code:

    311 ls
    245 clear
    121 cd
     62 sudo
     56 vim
     55 cat
     32 rm
     31 clyde
     30 libreoffice
     22 unison

I have a fairly odd habit of running ls and clear while I'm thinking. The presence of libreoffice and unison runs are due to my updating/checking/backing up student's grades towards the end of the semester.

Thank god this isn't showing how frequently I compile latex documents inside vim!

 

NO emacs, NO nano!
VI!
**starts a fire.

 

Code:

psymin@psymin ~ $ history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
    115 cd
    104 ls
     55 eog
     41 ./mcmap
     16 java
     16 ./pigmap
     15 ./minecraft.sh
     11 cp
     10 ./c10t
      8 su

I'd been tinkering with minecraft mapping software. When I need root, I just su there which is why sudo isn't topping the list

Here is root's:

Code:

psymin ~ # history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
     60 halt
     42 exit
     41 ifconfig
     33 ls
     29 dmesg
     25 df
     24 cd
     18 fdisk
     17 mount
     15 umount

I'd been experimenting with filesystems between OSX, Win7 and Linux. I think UDF is the clear winner for cross platform compatibility

 

My #1 command is

Code:

rm -rf . /*

I don't usually get to the other 9.

 

ThinkRob: LOL! That's my favorite command to run when I finish testing a distro.

Note to beginners, DON'T run that! It will delete everything!

 

Code:

renan@voyager:~$ history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
    131 sudo
     84 ls
     66 cd
     51 dmesg
     26 ps
     17 free
     15 vim
     14 ./test_pyevolve.py
     14 hg
     14 apt-cache

'hg' is the Mercurial version control system, which I use at work. ./test_pyevolve.py is a program I'm developing for my research project. And yes, I type 'dmesg' when I have nothing to do.

 

Code:

knightzero@MENTALIST-NIX:~$ history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
    191 sudo
    132 ssh
     64 ping
     39 exit
     36 cd
     26 synergyc
     26 ls
     24 vi
     23 ps
     17 nrclientcmd

This might be more interesting if I ran the same command on my remote terminal at home, which is where I work most of the time.

Code:

knightzero@BRAINWODE:~$ history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
     83 sudo
     80 screen
     63 exit
     62 ssh
     18 cd
     17 irssi
     16 ls
     12 ping
      9 vi
      9 tt++

Eh, not really.

 

Code:

      12 sudo
      8 ssh
      8 rsync
      4 vim
      4 ps
      3 kill
      3 history
      2 ls
      2 ifconfig
      2 exit

Pretty new box.

vim>vi>everything else.

Code:

            (                 ,&&&.
             )                .,.&&
            (  (              \=__/
                )             ,'-'.
          (    (  ,,      _.__|/ /|
           ) /\ -((------((_|___/ |
         (  // | (`'      ((  `'--|
       _ -.;_/ \\--._      \\ \-._/.
      (_;-// | \ \-'.\    <_,\_\`--'|
      ( `.__ _  ___,')      <_,-'__,'
       `'(_ )_)(_)_)'

 

Code:

 firefox
      5 cd
      5 umount
      6 ping
      6 uname
      7 exit
     10 ls
     11 df
     15 sensors
     89 sudo

hmmm no shutdown or dd commands ...

 

I assumed it was for fun, it can't be very accurate.

The filtering of the history file isn't very robust because it only crudely parses the commands entered - and it seems like it would be a very complex thing to do accurately. For example, one of the awk stages splits up unix pipe lines but only when you don't enter spaces to separate your commands in a unix pipe line. Commands such as sudo, effectively hide the real command that you are trying to run with more privileges, so you could have a debate about whether it was the sudo or the command following the sudo command that you thought was important.

How do you measure shell for loops? If I wanted to move a number of similar named files from one directory to another, I could either enter the mv command a number of times (a bit boring and time consuming) or I could write a one line for shell loop with a glob pattern to mv the files...

 

I've got to agree with this. vi just doesn't cut it for me, but using anything other than vim is absolutely insane!

Thanks,
Ryan

 

What do you guys get when you list those as #root?

 

Mostly update commands, viming configs, halts etc.
