A survey:the 10 commands you often use

zwylinux · 09-27-2006, 04:14 AM

run the follow commands to see which the 10 commands you often use are.

$ history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}' | sort|uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10

Or

$ history | cut -c 8-|cut -f1 -d" " | sort|uniq -c|sort -rn | head -n10

hah, never really thought about it. Interesting though.

desktop (project dev box):

Code:

75 ./kihit
69 cat
59 pico
56 ls
47 rm
46 cd
41 cp
34 php
9 sfdisk
8 init

server:

Code:

87 cd
82 ls
68 pico
34 cat
21 ps
19 umount
17 sh
14 lsof
13 rm
13 man

Strange that sfdisk made it into the top 10 on my desktop

Very odd. Can't understand wine being there. Only installed it on Sunday to play with a couple of things.

Nice.

rshaw · 09-27-2006, 08:39 PM

heh, as a user

Code:

     26 sux
     18 camstream
      9 lsmod
      6 modprobe
      5 rpm
      4 dmesg
      4 camsource
      3 ls
      3 $
      2 winecfg

and as the su

Code:

     26 make
     18 modprobe
     15 cd
     11 lsmod
      9 rmmod
      6 ./configure
      4 rpm
      4 ndiswrapper
      3 pwd
      3 mkinitrd

rickh · 09-27-2006, 09:06 PM

Interesting, indeed.

User:

Code:

    168 su
     34 ls
     33 cat
     24 apt-cache
     13 man
     12 exit
     11 lame
     11 cd
      9 xlsfonts
      9 df

I don't understand xlsfonts. I was having some font problems a while ago, and I may have run it once or twice, but I don't think 9 times.

Root:

Code:

     78 ls
     54 aptitude
     41 cat
     26 man
     25 vim
     24 cd
     23 rm
     22 shutdown
     21 locate
     18 apt-cache

After you get 50 or so responses, it might be interesting to consolidate the numbers, maybe eliminating such distro specific commands as "apt," and see what the most used commands generally are. Sudo is another one that is probably misleading with the popularity of Ubuntu. Also, now that I think of it, "sudo" obscures the actual root command being used.

Amurko · 09-27-2006, 10:18 PM

I'm not that much of a command-line person..

99 ls
81 cd
72 sudo
25 exit
13 ssh
13 cat
12 make
11 gedit
10 wine
10 rm

lord-fu · 09-27-2006, 10:41 PM

Interesting thread here are the results from user:

Code:

77 ssh
     62 ls
     59 cd
     43 su
     41 exit
     34 killall
     31 nano
     18 clear
     13 pwd
     11 ee

and as root:

Code:

 107 ls
    102 cd
     24 ssh
     24 nano
     21 mount
     16 exit
     15 ping
     15 clear
     12 ./slackup
      9 chown

I agree.

Here's mine. I was surprised to see kedit there though. Don't really use it much

88 ls
68 cd
34 vi
32 ssh
24 scp
23 man
21 ping
15 kedit
14 knock
13 sync

Code:

     58 ls
     57 cd
     56 man
     35 exit
     22 tail
     22 rm
     22 mysql
     13 su

I mostly access this box remotely, hence the su to become root

I recently had a fight to get multiple ip-addresses on one interface working at boot and did setup secure http.

Code:

     73 cd
     52 ls
     51 su
     37 exit
     25 ll
     22 pwd
     14 unrar
     12 mkdir
      9 info
      9 cat

I'm a n00b but I'm also working on a script which uses pwd

and I find exit easier than clicking on the top right corner of the window.

Code:

    114 yum
    101 cd
    100 ls
     46 cat
     44 exit
     35 find
     21 kwrite
     21 httpd
     18 info
     18 ./configure

More cat, find & info: a learning n00b (--help doesn't show up, fortunately

).
