Which are your most-used Linux commands?

February 22nd, 2009 by T4L

You can display a top 10 of your most-used Linux commands by pasting this in your console:

history | awk ‘{print $2}’ | awk ‘BEGIN {FS=”|”}{print $1}’ | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr

The output will be something like

76 cd
73 sudo
45 ls
37 whois
28 apt-cache
24 locate
15 htop
13 qemu
11 cat
10 nano
