My top 10 commands
I thought it was nifty when Jorge Bernal did a My top 10 commands, so here are mine. Funny thing was that Jorge Bernal command did not work for me so I added on a few extra commands to make it work for me.
history | awk ‘{print $2}’ | awk ‘BEGIN {FS=”|”} {print $1}’|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
Note: wordpress seems to be messing up the single and double quotes, you need to remove them and retype them in
| Rank | Times Searched | Command | Comment |
| 10 | 5 | ssh | Remote login to my other computers. |
| 9 | 9 | geany | Best IDE I have found. |
| 8 | 9 | history | If I want to look at recent commands I have used. |
