meme: top ten UNIX shell commands

My results for this meme:

history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10
     73 sudo
     67 update-web
     53 ssh
     51 nano
     44 ls
     25 dir
     21 upgrade-daily.sh
     17 cd
     13 requestsync
     13 more

Among the more unusual sightings, update-web is a Bourne shell script to update my APT repository and synchronize my homepage, and upgrade-daily.sh is another one to upgrade my whole cluster in a semi-automated way.

Meanwhile, requestsync is a really neat Python script by Martin Pitt to request the synchronisation of Debian packages into Ubuntu, automatically fetching Debian changelogs and other relevant information to justify the request.
