View your terminal history
I’ve seen a whole bunch of people’s terminal history at various different areas which is neat to keep a tab on all your activities and find out what other people use alot. I guess I’ll pitch in with mine:
niko@home:~$ history | awk '{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’|sort -rn|head
244 sudo
78 cd
56 bzr
35 apt-cache
12 cowsay
8 ./teeworlds_srv
6 niko@home:~/Desktop/
5 ./teewars_srv
4 firefox
3 man
niko@home:~$
It shows I use sudo quite a bit and am very addicted to the terminal in general. Anyways, the person who started all of this is here and I think it’s neat to keep a tab on all that I do. I’m sorry for the absence of posts, but I’ve been having lots of company over lately and it’s been hard to fit it in.
I’ll have a real post tomorrow I hope, and I can only hope that I’m not as busy as I have been lately quite occupied with other things. If you want to find out your own usage of different please add it in the comments after running this command:
history | sed -e 's/ / /g' | cut -d " " -f3 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
Have fun,

Hay this is a cool idea, but the string of code you gave doesn’t seem to work like it did for you.
Thanks
Well I went to the site you game and I used this [code]history|awk ‘{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’|sort -rn|head[/code] and it gave me this:
jon@cortana:~$ history|awk ‘{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’|sort -rn|head
111 sudo
59 cd
57 ls
30 ps
18 ./configure
17 pkill
17 clear
13 make
13 gedit
12 chmod
jon@cortana:~$
Very cool niko
Ok, here is my top ones:
41 vim
34 exit
28 sudo
21 man
20 gpg
19 telnet
16 whois
16 ./ipmailer
15 ls
12 ./whoowns
But I still want to study that command and figure out the counting part about it
Sometimes it doesn’t seem to work… I added the pipes and it work on Nathan’s machine, and mine. The one shown in my example works for me.
Well, one of the problems is, if you copied it directly from the blog, it had those funky substitute apostrophes and quotations, that WordPress adds in to the post.
Generally it is for security, because apostrophes and such are used in SQL injections, but it makes it harder on the end user when copying a command or some code.
Hrm; yes, WordPress does have those weird additions…
