Shell history command count

to shell zsh bash terminal fun by madams on Apr 16, 2008
Counts how many times each command appears in your shell history.

bash:

history | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head


zsh:

history -1000 | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head

Refresh rate in Vienna

to osx rss terminal by madams on May 08, 2007
Change the default refresh rate in seconds for the Vienna RSS reader to whatever you want. Anything less than 1800 seconds might be considered bad netiquette, but it's useful if you're only subscribed to internal feeds (e.g., activeCollab, Connector). 

defaults write uk.co.opencommunity.vienna2 CheckFrequencyInSeconds 60

twitter from the command line

to shell terminal twitter by madams on Mar 18, 2007
Replace username/password with your info. The message is posted as the status text.

curl -u username:password -d status="<What are you doing?>" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml

start postgres

to terminal postgres by madams on Aug 10, 2006
Postgres was installed through darwinports, so

/opt/local/lib/postgresql81/bin/pg_ctl -D /opt/local/var/db/postgresql81/defaultdb/ start

shell/vim .rc's for Japanese support (UTF-8)

to shell osx terminal vim Japanese by madams on Jun 03, 2006
Get Japanese (and other multibyte, ascii-unfriendly languages) working in the Terminal.

.inputrc (bash)
set convert-meta off
set meta-flag on
set output-meta on


.cshrc (tcsh)
set dspmbyte=utf8


.vimrc
:set enc=utf-8
:set fenc=utf-8


And don't forget 'ls -w' or 'ls -v' to display files and directories.

Preferences: Uncheck 'Emulation > Escape non-ASCII characters';
