Post your top 10 used terminal commands

[earobinson]

I recently made a blog post that received a lot of attention, asking people to post there top 10 terminal commands. So without further adoo do a

history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr

or

history | sed -e 's/  / /g' | cut -d " " -f3 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr

(Thanks reclusivemonkey) in the terminal and post away. Here is mine:

146 ls
126 cd
59 gnome-open
41 ./a1q3.py
40 svn
15 python
11 xpdf
11 history
10 geany
5 ssh

Terminal didn't reply. Maybe I don't use it enough?

There is a problem with the post
It should read:

history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr

96 ls
57 cd
49 ps
30 mount
21 ifconfig
19 gvim
18 killall
18 history
16 scp
16 rm

For myself :

  53 df
   7 sudo
   3 ls
   3 cd
   3 awk
   2 rm
   2 ln
   2 firefox
   1 screen
   1 pwd

For root :

  26 df
  16 cd
  12 make
   7 fdisk
   7 disklabel
   6 nano
   4 mount
   4 man
   3 useradd
   3 ls

I just installed it today and made my partitions a little too short, thus all the df's

[dreadlord_chris]

161 sudo
34 ls
17 cd
14 cat
13 sinstall
13 man
11 supdate
11 cp
10 whereis
9 ps

sinstall = sudo apt-get install
supdate = sudo apt-get update

[cunawarit]

For root:

46 apt-get
23 exit
23 apt-cache
16 ls
15 cd
5 nano
4 gedit
4 10
3 man
2 su

Why I'm done su twice when I am already root... who knows... And the 10 was a pasting accident...
