When I need to find my recently used files, this command:
ls -lt
lists in ascending order (by time), when there are lots files, I need to scroll to the top to see needed files, because wont fit in terminal screen.
After finding out that tac inverses the output, I use: ls -lt dir/ | tac
Is there more fun way of doing it, without using external scripts/utils?
ls -lt | lessorls -lt | head -n 5. – RanRag Nov 7 '12 at 18:35
