This is a concise guide for using Bash commands to find and list recent files in a Linux system. The commands are safe to use and can help you quickly locate recently modified or accessed files.
1. **List Recently Modified Files**:
You can use the `ls` command with sorting options to list recently modified files in the current directory.
```bash
ls -lt
```
2. **Using `stat` for File Details**:
To get detailed information about file modifications, access, and change, use the `stat` command.
Example for a specific file:
```bash
stat .
```
3. **Find Files**:
A. **Find Files Modified in the Last N Days**:
The `find` command is useful for searching files modified within a specific number of days.
For example, to find files modified in the last 7 days:
```bash
find . -type f -mtime -7
```
B. **Display Files Accessed Recently**:
Similarly, you can list files that were accessed recently using the `find` command.
1. To list files accessed in the last 3 days:
```bash
find . -type f -atime -3
```
2. **Advanced Search with `find`**:
Combine `find` with other commands for advanced searching. For instance, to list and sort files by modification time:
```bash
find . -type f -mtime -7 -exec ls -lt {} +
```
These commands provide a basic way to manage and track file modifications and access on your system. They are particularly useful for system administration and file management tasks.
