Ask YC: Recent *nix history..

This seems to be a meme going around. run this and paste what you get: history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head It'll be interesting to see what most people spend their time with. this is what I get for my user: 83 ssh 51 ls 44 ec2-describe-instances 44 cd 40 sudo 20 ec2-run-instances 17 ec2-terminate-instances 15 ping 15 ifconfig 15 ec2-describe-images

    I feel a hint of castigation in that small comment, and it's been bugging me for the last few days ;-) Yes, I admit it, I don't spend my day in emacs. Too many things don't work quite right inside the emacs shell.

most people seem to use cd and ls very frequently. Very often they are used one after another. This reminds me of a trick I heard in a talk by Damian Conway: alias cdd='cd $l; ls' I can't find the original slides, here is a writeup by cromatic: http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2003/07/oscon_2003_day_one.html http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2003/07/oscon_2003_day...

  Tab completion!! Why the heck not?
- breily 19y ago
  I did that with this: function z () { if [ $# = 0 ]; then ls -lFGh else cd "$*" && ls -lFGh fi } That way if you don't specify a directory it just does an ls. Edit: and apparently it took away my line breaks there, but it still makes sense.

  I used to have cdl aliased to that, and lost track of it during a long sojourn in Windows. I'm still in the process of building out a really kickass bash again. Thanks for the reminder of that alias!

  It seems so obvious, and yet it took me several years before I finally made a cd-ls alias. I made a mkdir-cd alias too.
