Top 12 LINUX Commands
What are your top 12 LINUX commands? I nicked this idea from my mate, Paul. But mine is considerably better because it lists your top 12 most recently used commands where as his only lists a measly 10… so, without further ado here is the command:
history | awk ‘{print $2}’ | awk ‘BEGIN {FS=”|”} {print $1}’|sort|uniq -c | sort -rn | head -12
Mine are:-
172 ls
85 vi
84 ps
61 cat
50 tail
39 yum
39 less
32 telnet
29 whereis
27 locate
25 service
18 kill
I also reckon my list is better than Pauls as mine is quite poetic, if you look hard and, basically, his isn’t… lol

You nicked my idea, cheeky fecker
