Ranking of the most frequently used commands

Your version works fine except for someone who's interested in commands 'sudo' was prefixed to

i.e. in your command, use of sudo appears as number of times sudo was used.

Slight variation in my command peeks into what commands sudo was used for and counts the command

(ignores 'sudo')

FInd the 10 biggest files taking up disk space

This combines the above two command into one. Note that you can leave off the last two commands and simply run the command as

"find /home/ -type f -exec du {} \; 2>/dev/null | sort -n | tail -n 10"

The last two commands above just convert the output into human readable format.
