    I adjusted the old comment because people think it's Funny to add me on Skype and call me a DDoSer because I modified the output. @mtwiscool

    Wow I didn't even realise, honest! How the hell did I stumble upon this thread though.. I think someone else bumped it and the post got deleted. Let's all blame the new guy @anthonysmith boooo

    In case it matters, this is my unprivileged user account (the one that I use most of the time) on a Mac, not Linux:

    1 18% exit
    2 13.8% ls
    3 10.6% whois
    4 9.8% cd
    5 9.0% ping
    6 5.6% ssh
    7 3.0% [redacted]
    8 2.8% ping6
    9 2.8% md5
    10 2.6% [redacted]

    The two redacted entries are my own tools.

    Here is another listing from a Mac server. It comes from an unprivileged user account that is used exclusively for remote connections.

    1 34.1% exit
    2 16.7% su
    3 15.2% tail
    4 6.8% top
    5 6.8% ls
    6 3.8% cat
    7 3.0% cd
    8 2.3% uptime
    9 1.5% whoami
    10 1.5% who

    Obviously every account has its own list, and they vary by how the account is used. I hope these examples (and the other postings) help someone, although I can't see much use for them. I suppose you could infer something about what I do with the two example accounts above.

    Nope. Can't stand it. For quick on-server edits (eg. config files), I use nano. For actual development, I use Brackets.

    You're like the second guy who said that in this thread. What's wrong with nano?

    I wonder what time scope this is restricted to. I haven't used adb commands for a very long time. I only was doing stuff with adb for about a week out of the 6 months or so that this Linux install has been active. Still, adb is pretty high on the list for me. Same with convert and compare commands for me. I was working on a script using imagemagick for a while, but imagemagick commands aren't used by me very often on most regular days. I expected to see pwd in there somewhere.

    Absolutely nothing. It's just that @joepie91 is the kind of guy I would have expected vim out of.

    Nah, I'm not a fan of remembering a million magic incantations. Required mental overhead needs to be minimal for me.
