Most-used applications

Postby dedanna1029 » 22 Jul 2011, 18:22

Is there a way to list installed apps in order of most-used programs? Fedora 14.

Thanks.

Yeah. Just for that reason, I thought rolf might know, but I guess he doesn't because he hasn't answered.

I don't think rpm tracks usage of installed binaries. Gave it a little thought, maybe in the logs, which are compressed by chron, so there might be a script someone has written, sometime, somewhere, to extract and parse those files for instances or times but idk and sounds rather icky, to me. :confused

Yeah, it does to me, too.

Wonder if we could all get together and write a script that does this? A little proggie?

I mean, we already have "indexers" to track our files, ISPs to track our movements on the inet, why not have a script just for ourselves, that tracks something like this? It would help us to get rid of unused programs on our machines... nothing wrong with that?
