Being Nerd
January 26th, 2007
I’ve loved the (rather nerdy) idea that my friend Julio has blogged about. Basically he wonders what are the most common commands he types on console (I know everyone that has worked besides him could tell you that it’s clear but he wanted a proof). So he worked out this command:
history | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -5
to see which are his five most used commands. I’ve done the same on this machine and these are the results:
My user:
- 129 ssh
- 109 su
- 74 startx
- 52 ldapvi
- 18 ./spamUpdater.sh
spamUpdater.sh is a little sell script I wrote to feed spamassassin’s database (through sa-learn) with the spam that arrives to my mailbox.
root user:
- 67 emerge
- 64 dhcpcd
- 37 halt
- 34 /etc/init.d/net.eth0
- 24 reboot
So, as a good nerd, I spend more time updating this machine than doing anything more productive.
