Command Line History meme

April 16th, 2008 | by mj |

From the biscuit, the command-line meme:

On my Mac:
MacBook-Pro:~ mjohnstn$ history | awk '{a[$2]++} END {for(i in a)print a[i] ” ” i}’ | sort -rn | head -10
69 cd
55 ssh
42 ls
38 ping
37 say
31 top
23 ifconfig
23 curl
19 sftp
15 whois

I must say, Steve is a ‘ls’ freak.
