Top 10 Commands

Tagged with ,  

Koke’s list of his top 10 commands sems to have started a meme. Here’s my list:

juha@marvin ~ >history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10

  • 94 wajig
    74 ls
    59 sudo
    54 cd
    19 less
    15 rm
    13 syncevolution
    13 nano
    12 u
    11 fetchmail

Looks like most of my command line work is administration related. This could mean that GNOME users don’t need the terminal very much in their daily work. Most notable exceptions are syncevolution and fetchmail. SyncEvolution is used to synchronise my evolution calendar and address book with my phone via ScheduleWorld’s SyncML server. I use fetchmail to download backups of my Gmail account.

A couple of other commands in the list may be unfamiliar to some. u is just an alias for cd.. and wajig is my favorite front end to dpkg, apt, and init script handling.
