How would i find most used command in my distribution?
It has been long time since i used the command that used to display the most widely used command in the distribution .

It was in following format.(I guess it was a combination of history head sort grep or something like that)

50 ls -ltr
3 neat-tui
1 touch abc

I tried finding the command in google but wasnt able to find it.

anybody remember such command?

If the fc builtin is available:

Code:
fc -ln|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr|head -n5

Not exactly what i was intend to.

See the difference.
Quote:
# fc -ln|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr|head -n5
3 history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"}{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
3 cut -f1 -d" " .bash_history | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -n 30
2 ls
2 dir
1 pwd
# history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"}{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr
113 cd
100 ls
77 xm
64 cat
61 dir
60 df
54 find
48 sysctl
42 vi
36 mount

So why are you asking when you know the solution Smilie ?

Hmm radoulov solution matches the example in post #1 (i.e. treating the whole command and parameters as the unique entity).

However the "history" alias could be set to something unusual in whatever O/S and Shell "pinga123" is running today.
