Your 10 Most-Used Commands

[mconway]

I was browsing a "command-of-the-day" site called commandlinefu.com, and found a command to list your most used terminal commands. Here's the string:

history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head

Post your output here, if you want!
