I am installing a new system. I wanted to know which commands I use most
frequently on my older systems so I could be sure they were added to the new
box. I chose a VM I am often on and analyzed my bash history. The results,
quite frankly, surprised me. Taking in to account the last 6000 commands run:
* I have ran 67 uniq commands as my regular user
* I have ran 90 uniq commands as root.
Below are the top ten commands I've used:
# Regular User
311 ssh
100 less
69 ls
64 screen
59 ping
58 su
50 whois
48 vim
48 dig
29 cd
# Root
248 ls
148 salt
103 cd
95 vim
53 service
37 tail
39 cat
38 yum
35 git
28 rm
This got me thinking. How does this list compare to the top commands used by
other PLUGers? If you are trying to figure out what skills to add to your
ninja belt, what can your command history teach you? One thing I've learned is
that I should probably study up on the options to 'ls' ;-)
