    nicolas: somehow, I never knew that existed. Doh! /me hangs head in shame.

    Thanks! That will save me a few keystrokes.

    My list is kinda similar with the cd & ls:

    vadi@ubuntu:~$ history|awk ‘{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}’|sort -rn|head
    107 cd
    58 ls
    47 make
    39 sudo
    28 ./bot
    19 git
    18 bzr
    10 ./springlobby
    9 ./phoronix-test-suite
    9 nano
    vadi@ubuntu:~$
