Power Maintenance @ Metropolitan Towers

That's just too bad. The building we live in will be shutting down power for some electrical maintenance tonight. Why do I care ? Well, because I have this trusty OpenBSD Firewall that's been humming along in a closet forever. Well, not forever, but almost.

[root@dorsk root]# uname -a ; uptime
OpenBSD dorsk.bc.ectoplasm.org 3.7 GENERIC#50 i386 11:59PM
up 784 days, 10:51, 1 user, load averages: 0.86, 0.64, 0.48
[root@dorsk root]# shutdown -p -h now
Shutdown NOW!
*** FINAL System shutdown message from root@dorsk.bc.ectoplasm.org
*** System going down IMMEDIATELY
System shutdown time has arrived


Oh well, can't be helped. Go OpenBSD, GO!

History

Apparently, I've got to do like everybody else it would seem. However, I wrote the shell-foo the way I would have written it.

$> history | awk {'print $2'} | sort | uniq -c | sort -k1 -rn | head

  770   vi 
  692   ls 
  491   svn 
  381   perl 
  256   make 
   83   cat 
   75   grep 
   72   ssh 
   70   rm 
   56   rpmbuild 

Vi, Subversion, Perl & make, yup, that sounds like me on productive days. ssh feels lower than it should be though.
