ls -t | head -n1

这个命令实际上给出了当前工作目录中最新修改的文件或目录。

递归地:

find $1 -type f -exec stat --format '%Y :%y %n' "{}" \; | sort -nr | cut -d: -f2- | head

试试这个简单的命令

ls -ltq  <path>  | head -n 1

如果需要文件名-最后修改，path = /ab/cd/*.log

如果要修改目录名称-最后一次修改，则path = /ab/cd/*/

这是一个递归版本(即，它在某个目录或其任何子目录中查找最近更新的文件)

find /dir/path -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort -n | cut -d' ' -f 2- | tail -n 1

命令行简单的外行解释:

find /dir/path -type f finds all the files in the directory -printf "%T@ %p\n" prints a line for each file where %T@ is the float seconds since 1970 epoch and %p is the filename path and \n is the new line character for more info see man find | is a shell pipe (see man bash section on Pipelines) sort -n means to sort on the first column and to treat the token as numerical instead of lexicographic (see man sort) cut -d' ' -f 2- means to split each line using the character and then to print all tokens starting at the second token (see man cut) NOTE: -f 2 would print only the second token tail -n 1 means to print the last line (see man tail)

所有这些ls/tail解决方案都非常适用于目录中的文件—忽略子目录。

为了在搜索中包含所有文件(递归地)，可以使用find。Gioele建议对格式化的查找输出进行排序。但是要小心使用空格(他的建议不适用于空格)。

这应该适用于所有文件名:

find $DIR -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort -n | sed -r 's/^[0-9.]+\s+//' | tail -n 1 | xargs -I{} ls -l "{}"

这一分类由时，见人发现:

%Ak    File's  last  access  time in the format specified by k, which is either `@' or a directive for the C `strftime' function.  The possible values for k are listed below; some of them might not be available on all systems, due to differences in `strftime' between systems.
       @      seconds since Jan. 1, 1970, 00:00 GMT, with fractional part.
%Ck    File's last status change time in the format specified by k, which is the same as for %A.
%Tk    File's last modification time in the format specified by k, which is the same as for %A.

用%C替换%T，按ctime排序。

我也需要这样做，我找到了这些命令。这些对我来说很有用:

如果你想要最后一个文件的创建日期在文件夹(访问时间):

ls -Aru | tail -n 1  

如果你想要最后一个文件的内容有变化(修改时间):

ls -Art | tail -n 1
