History Meme

For some reason I find this meme interesting… I don’t know why I find it interesting, but at least its brief.

Home Office Computer (Debian Unstable)

$ history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s\n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
   99	sudo
   80	cd
   59	ssh
   52	vi
   47	ls
   19	cat
   17	ipython2.5
   12	svn
   12	man
    8	host

Server I do most of my work on these days… (Ubuntu 6.10)

$ history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s\n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
  288	vi
  108	svn
   59	cd
   15	ls
    8	screen
    4	grep
    2	sudo
    2	mv
    2	make
    2	cat

I haven’t seen ipython on anyone else’s yet. I’m constantly hopping in & out of ipython to test things.

On the GUI side of things I use Gnome, Firefox, Epiphany, Gnome-Terminal, Banshee, Pidgin, and NetworkManager every day.

    how about:
    history | awk ‘{ print $2 }’ | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
