Most Common Bash

Published by Nathan Powell on April 12, 2008 12:37 pm under computers

Just in the interest of standing on the shoulders of Patrick…and a bunch of other people…


npowell@delilah:~$ history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s\n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
  324   ls
  266   cd
  243   clear
  105   svn
  100   ssh
   80   vi
   58   sudo
   24   cp
   21   rm
   19   ll

ll is an alias to `ls -l`. I started off on Red Hat and they always included that by default. Kind of boring. I am surprised that clear was not the top spot, as I type it by reflex constantly.

    It’s interesting that you both have ssh as your #1.

    Hathaway, you get credit for using a command I have never even heard of: ‘ipmitool’.

    And Don, you get extra geek cred for the ec2 command.

    Who else?

    Linux box at home:

    172 python
    69 screen
    62 telnet
    56 nano
    32 cd
    18 ls
    16 exit
    12 ssh
    6 upnpscan
    6 rake

    Although that’s skewed quite a bit by my recent “game” coding and testing. I can’t say telnet is usually in my top three. :)

    I think my bash history is borked, since I’ve been running ‘git’ a lot, certainly more often than xvncviewer, which I only tried one day.

    87 cd
    65 git
    61 ls
    34 sudo
    25 find
    24 pwn_nates_mythbox.pl
    23 ssh
    20 emacs
    13 scp
    10 xvncviewer
    10 rm
