My top 15 commands

Filed under: Bash, Linux — Tags: , — sontek @ 5:49 pm

My friend Sam posted a blog on his top 15 commands used from the commandline, so here are mine:

sontek@inspidell:~> history | awk ‘{print $2}’ | awk ‘BEGIN {FS=”|”} {print $1}’|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 15 | sort -nr
143 ls
135 cd
84 vim
69 exit
57 ssh
56 su
35 svn
25 man
24 rm
24 python
22 sudo
22 jhbuild
18 make
17 grep
16 xrandr

You can tell a lot about a person by their top 15 commands and as you can see with mine, the majority of mine are used for coding!

You can see a break down of the command I used to list these here: http://czarism.com/my-top-ten-linux-comments-history

What are your top 15 commands?

  1. That would be because you are a coding machine! I need to get myself into some open source development, that would be so much fun. That and I need to get the hell off Windows and finally move to Linux! I’m thinking I might try to make the jump to Linux at IBM. :)
