Most used commands
There’s been some talk on Planet Ubuntu about the most used commands.
The command to find those is
history | awk ‘{print $2}’ | awk ‘BEGIN {FS=”|”} {print $1}’|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
Here’s my list. Workstation:
86 sudo
43 ls
38 ps
38 cd
33 start_default
26 less
21 kill
18 evolution
16 wget
16 darkwing
Server:
168 sudo
89 ls
80 cd
38 /usr/bin/snmpget
28 less
26 ifconfig
17 ps
7 cat
5 telnet
5 ping
I think it’s obvious that I don’t use the command line that often; Only for a couple of things that can’t be easily done in GUI.
