Which Linux terminal command do you use the most?

I'd be interested to find out how to filter out the display of the history result, which is affected by executing this, would help me to understand how this works .. will have to explore all this. I'm intrigued now.

Although I'm inclined to myself feel that being intrigued by 'awk' in 2018 might not necessarily lead to the best use of one's time... if you in the second version I posted, the one that filters commands starting with "./", replace the "$2!~/^.\//" [edit: which actually should escape the . as well] with "$2!~/^history/" that would work. Or filter both with "$2!~/^(\.\/|history)/". Just keep adding "|foo|bar" inside the parentheses to filter additional commands.

Code: Select all

history | awk '$2!~/^(\.\/|history)/ { if ($2 != "sudo" || $3 == "-s" || $3 == "-i") cmd[$2]++; else cmd[$3]++; n++; } END { for (s in cmd) { printf("%d %d%% %s ",cmd[s],cmd[s]*100/n,s); for (i=0;i<cmd[s]/12;i++) printf("▄"); printf("\n") } }' | sort -nr | head -n10 | column -t | nl

The fun of 'awk' is as far as I'm concerned mostly the arcania -- although it does in fact sometimes still come in handy.

I am in awe of those that understand awk, and wow, now many pipes in that:

Code: Select all

history | awk '{CMD[$2]++;count++;}END { for (a in CMD)print CMD[a] " " CMD[a]/count*100 "% " a; }' | grep -v "./" | column -c3 -s " " -t | sort -nr | nl | head -n10

sudo came top of my list followed by man and inxi.
