So I wrote a small shell script to count up who replies to my LJ comments/posts the most. I've met the people in bold

"Go away, or I will replace you with a very small shell script!"

Like this one...

titanflakes% grep -s '^From:' Special\ Mail | grep -i livejournal.com | sed -e 's/dontreply/notify/g' -e 's/lj_notify@livejournal.com//g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | awk '$1 > 10 { print $0 }'

M'hey!

whooaaaaaaa, that's so NIFTY!!

[ursamajor]

Re:

[kudzita.livejournal.com]

That nifty too, but seeing as this is theducksy, this is more like Ozzie nifty.
*g*

[singularity.livejournal.com]

So what are you saying? We comment to much? hehe. Neat script.

[laruth.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty nifty script.

Like the t-shirt link by the way ;) I like the range of female t-shirts they have as well.

*laughs geekily to herself*

I'm very quiet, rather observant really instead. But at least I made the list! yay! :D

[ffwd.livejournal.com]

How very keen! I would imagine that this script only works if you have eMail notification on yes? Tried to execute it, and nary a thing happened.

ummm ....

[fonny.livejournal.com]

can i use this script too? how? :D

i take it it doesn't count your own comments *ggl* .... cause i comment in my own journal quite a bit *g*

Re: ummm ....

[theducks.livejournal.com]

Basically it's a shell script that runs thru a file, extracts all the LJ comment addresses, adds them up, sorts them and prints them out..

it's actually a bit difficult to do, as by default both mail.app and eudora store their mail in a format that can't be easily read by OSX's command line utils (!).

So in a word.. most likely not easily ;>

teach meeeeeeeee, s'il te plaît!!! :D

(i just tried it in terminal.app, and i probably did it wrong :P ::needs. to. learn. unix.::)
