What commands do you run?
People have been posting in their blogs about what command they run, based on their shell histories. The command that I've seen looks like this:
history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){ \
printf "%5d\t%s \n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
That works, of course, but who wants to use awk and the shell? I pulled out the old Data::Hash::Totals module I wrote a while back, along with Perl's built-in awk simulation:
$ history | perl -MData::Hash::Totals -ane'$x{$F[1]}++;' \
-e'END{print as_table(\%x, comma => 1)}' | head
207 vim
143 svn
125 make
90 ack
77 cd
45 sdvx
34 ssq
31 ls
25 ./login-fixup
19 tail
alester:~ : cat `which sdvx`
#!/bin/sh
svn diff -x -w $* | view -
and ssq is just an alias for svn status -q.

For tcsh, you have to pull the third column instead of the second column for the default output of history...
My top five are:
101 fg
50 make
34 svn
32 perl
19 cd
I run a single, long-lived instance of emacs with dozens of buffers. I routinely Ctrl-Z to halt it, run a command, and fg to resume it.
305 ant
122 cd
119 vim
95 svk
71 ls
70 ssh
55 svn
51 grep
15 rm
11 p
I've been doing a lot of flex work lately; that's the ant. I think the p is from my ctrl key not working when trying to rapidly run a command in the recent history. Otherwise not too surprising to me.
