How to list most recently modified max N (such as 5) files in bash?
I used
ls -alt
or
find -mtime 0
to show the recently files but I don't know how to limit the result into 5 records. Maybe find or some other command can be followed in command pipe?
You can use head
or tail
to limit the number oflines in a pipie:
ls -latr | tail -n5
