After reading the tip I mentioned in my previous post I made some changes to my `~/.bashrc` to enable bash history
alias e32="$HOME/eclipse/eclipse321/eclipse"
alias e33="$HOME/eclipse/eclipse33M4/eclipse"
alias nb="$HOME/netbeans-5.5/bin/netbeans"
JAVA_HOME=$HOME/jdk1.6.0
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin:
export PATH
HISTFILESIZE=1000000000
HISTSIZE=1000000
HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
shopt -s histappend
INPUTRC=~/.inputrc
and to my `~/.inputrc`
"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward
“\e[A”and
"\e[B"` being whatever your terminal uses for up & down.
And with the following simple command I can see the commands I use most:
cut -f1 -d" " ~/.bash_history | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -n 30
