I don’t normally do memes

An entry published by James Bennett on April 10, 2008, Part of the category Misc. 15 comments posted.

But this one was geeky and interesting enough to be worth it:

$ history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s\n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
   75   cd
   64   ls
   34   ssh
   29   python
   21   rm
   21   hg
   20   svn
   18   man
   18   less
   17   screen

From our sysadmin:

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

Ah man, there is something wrong if your VCS isn’t at the top! I suppose having gvim in second (mine) could also mean something is wrong =).
