On Ubuntu, I had to change the command a bit:
—————
~$ history | awk ‘{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf “%5d %s\n”,a[i],i}}’ | sort -rn | head
—————
I’m not sure whether that’s right, so the following results might be wrong:
—————
100 cd
83 t
79 svn
43 lsa
28 gedit
14 Scripts/VGAOut.sh
14 history
11 meld
10 less
9 ls
—————
(“t” is my alias for todo.sh, “lsa” is for “ls -alh”, and VGAOut.sh is my clumsy script for enabling dual screen)

C:\Documents and Settings\test>history|awk ‘{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf “%5
dt%sn”,a[i],i}}’|sort -rn|head
‘history’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I was expecting more ssh.

Er, what’s a command line again? Is that something that they use in the military?

Looks like all I do is wander around directories and look inside them. I’m useless.

232 cd
127 ls
125 sudo
60 less
54 tail
44 grep
34 cat
32 vi
30 curl
21 netstat

(replaced “t” and “n” with backslash-t and backslash-n in the printf)
