Bowing to the shell history meme:
history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf “%5d\t%s \n”,a[i],i}}’|sort -rn|head
55 sudo
45 ls
42 git
32 cd
25 gem
23 vi
21 ruby
15 man
13 echo
7 /bin/rm
Heh. Turns out most of my work on the command line involves making changes as the actual super user. Further digging reveals that most of that are calls to port and gem. (And yes, I call gem a lot as local user to. Not everything requires privilege escalation).
The rest just proves that I’m a ruby/vi person, not python/emacs. (Although, honestly, I’m a textmate user. Just forgot to install the mate script…)
