401 ls
391 v
381 l
234 cd
175 jo
171 mv
156 cp
150 wg
143 man
141 wget

This is the box I used to get online, not my main box, which is why wget is in there (v is an alias for less, l is 'ls -l', wg is 'wget -c --passive-ftp' to get through the firewall, jo is short for joe, the text editor).

And as root:

101 jo
96 cd
89 iptables
79 cp
76 rm
66 mount
42 route

Code:

     43 su
     37 cd
     23 ls
     18 mount
     13 man
      6 wine
      5 startx
      4 winecfg
      4 umount
      4 top

looks like I have a bad habit of forgetting to unmount stuff :/

Before opening this thread I was trying to name the top 10. While I was close I didn't come up with all 10.

211 ls
130 cd
60 su
56 exit
36 vi
36 df
32 ps
32 more
31 top
20 rpm

Looks like my problem is unmounting stuff that apparently wasn't even mounted in the first place!

Code:

# history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}' | sort|uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10
    112 ls
     86 cd
     58 pwd
     40 vi
     18 exit
     17 rm
     15 mysql
     11 df
      9 umount
      9 make
#

Hey! That post evidently bumped me up to a "Senior Member". Pretty pitiful actually. I was hoping for something more ... useful ... as the post that got me promoted!

Code:

$ ~: history | cut -c 8-|cut -f1 -d" " | sort|uniq -c|sort -rn | head -n10
    151 l
    120 cd
     67 cat
     65 ls
     47 sed
     45 for
     42 commands
     34 vi
     28 man
     27 fg

# history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}' | sort|uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10
    157 l
    113 cat
    101 cd
     93 vi
     66 apache2ctl
     65 ls
     53 cp
     40 fg
     36 rm
     31 /etc/init.d/mysql

- commands is a thing that opens a logfile in vi. The logfile is like my personal howto for commands I use in bash or wherever.
- Go sed! Sed rules.

- fg is because I always <Ctrl>z out of vi to suspend it. Then resume vi with fg.
- I like to shutdown apache when i'm not testing websites on my box / same for mysql.
- for: I like one-liners.

As root :

Quote:

72 cd
53 emerge
52 nano
44 ls
23 ping
21 ifconfig
18 iwconfig
16 make
14 exit
10 rc-update

As normal user :

Quote:

13 su
5 exit
5 cd
3 ls
2 history
2 dmesg
1 toperm
1 qoos
1 nano
1 env-update

Well hey, think I should learn that 'Working as root is dangerous' :-)
And, qoos is an accident, couldn't find the openoffice quickstart applet.

amitsharma_26 · 09-29-2006, 06:29 AM

Code:

     121 iptables
     90 service
     74 vi
     60 mplayer :D 
     58 ip
     50 ping
     45 /xyz.sh
     33 pkill
     33 exit
     30 find
