Note: the script posted originally had a bug in sorting, as seen here.

I used history 1|awk '{print $2}'|awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr|head -10 (this is for zsh history; the fix is the -n flag to sort)

    254 ls
    141 cd
    131 vim
     86 svn
     77 grep
     70 apt
     65 sudo
     60 ssh
     51 rm
     45 dpkg

Boring meme. I work on files, edit files, use subversion, grep and eventually run apt-get or dpkg. "apt" is a small script of mine which will call apt-cache search or "sudo aptitude" as appropriate; somewhat merging the functionality of these into one command).

Followers up:

     45 cat
     43 man
     33 debuild
     28 apt-cache
     18 dch

debuild, dch - yeah, I have been doing some Debian work recently. Mostly SELinux, like a week ago or so.

[Clint, I didn't invent that double-awk pipeline. I just fixed the sort issue. I'm currently more annoyed by awk because it uses isatty() on regular files, which in turn does ioctl, which in turn triggers SELinux audit errors...]
