Share Your Top 10 Linux Commands...
 
Share your top 10 Linux commands. It's easy to do this from the command line. Just copy and paste this code snippet, and then let us know your results!

Code:
history | awk '{CMD[$2]++;count++;}END { for (a in CMD)print CMD[a] " " CMD[a]/count*100 "% " a;}' | grep -v "./" | column -c3 -s " " -t | sort -nr | nl | head -n10
Here is mine (I was a little shocked):
Code:
john@breezy:~$ history | awk '{CMD[$2]++;count++;}END { for (a in CMD)print CMD[a] " " CMD[a]/count*100 "% " a;}' | grep -v "./" | column -c3 -s " " -t | sort -nr | nl | head -n10
    1  142  28.4%  sudo
    2  139  27.8%  ls
    3  104  20.8%  clear
    4  30  6%    cd
    5  27  5.4%  htop
    6  18  3.6%  exit
    7  7    1.4%  ftp
    8  4    0.8%  hostname
    9  4    0.8%  git
    10  3    0.6%  history
Enjoy! :)

P.S. I found a similar thread like this from a long time ago, but it was a little different. (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...mmands-180329/)

I get
Code:
1        110  16.0116%  ls
    2        88  12.8093%  cd
    3        85  12.3726%  man
    4        67  9.75255%  rpm
    5        45  6.55022%  md5sum
    6        37  5.38574%  wget
    7        21  3.05677%  openssl
    8        21  3.05677%  gnome-terminal
    9        20  2.91121%  cat
    10        17  2.47453%  su
In other words, I generally use the terminal in user mode only to check the distros I've downloaded for testing. I was a bit puzzled by gnome-terminal and su, then I realised it's recording when I press Super-r and it generates
Code:
gnome-terminal -e "su -"
Now the root terminal is a different business
Code:
1        161  30.9615%  cp
    2        55  10.5769%  yum
    3        55  10.5769%  nano
    4        52  10%        setenforce
    5        47  9.03846%  ls
    6        29  5.57692%  gedit
    7        25  4.80769%  rm
    8        18  3.46154%  nautilus
    9        16  3.07692%  man
    10        10  1.92308%  cd

Interesting! Here is mine.

Code:
$ history | awk '{CMD[$4]++;count++;}END { for (a in CMD)print CMD[a] " " CMD[a]/count*100 "% " a;}' \\

    9        16  1.6%  man
    10        14  1.4%  yum
As for my root terminal,

Code:
# history | awk '{CMD[$4]++;count++;}END { for (a in CMD)print CMD[a] " " CMD[a]/count*100 "% " a;}' \\
| grep -v "./" | column -c3 -s " " -t | sort -nr | nl | head -n10

Indispensable for sysadmins.

H/T to DarkShadow for suggesting checking both.

Hey :) interesting thread, seeing what others use.

Heres mine:
Quote:
1 62 12.4% su
2 40 8% more
3 34 6.8% ssh
4 28 5.6% SDLvncviewer
5 27 5.4% vi
6 26 5.2% ls
7 21 4.2% cd
8 17 3.4% locate
9 16 3.2% df
10 14 2.8% nvidia-settings
nvidia-settings is in there because the last few weeks i have been using the vid card to do setiathome work units and im keeping an eye on its temperature.

On another machine that im logged into mostly as root through a terminal:
Quote:
1 71 20.4611% vi
2 35 10.0865% ls
3 29 8.35735% cd
4 21 6.05187% netstat
5 18 5.18732% .
6 13 3.7464% init
7 9 2.59366% more
8 8 2.30548% ps
9 7 2.01729% locate
10 6 1.72911% runlevel

Im suprised that "." made the list.

I too am shocked. You use Debian, but your most used command is sudo?:scratch:
