It shows you the ten most used commands on your local machine and I think it’s time to revive this habit.

Do the following on your console and see what you’re frequently using:

user@host: ~ $ history|awk '{print $2}'|awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -rn|head -10

This is the result of my workstation which now runs for about 1 1/2 months with a current total of 8.000 commands:

   1987 ssh
    767 ls
    746 sudo
    349 for
    267 cd
    259 exit
    231 vim
    156 svn
    154 ping
    130 pwd
