In reply to Sebastian Llaurador. @Sebastian, If you want to list all files modified in the last 24 hours without using the find command, you can use a combination of ls, stat, and awk.


ls -lR --time-style=+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S | awk -v now="$(date +%s)" '{if ($6 ~ /^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}T[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}$/) {cmd="date -d "$6" +%s"; cmd | getline filetime; if ((now - filetime) <= 86400) print $NF}}'

I would like to know a command that lists all files modified in the last 24 hours without using the find command.

Does the check /etc directory have any new files created (compared to the last run)? If yes, display the file information and if it is a text file, display the first 10 lines of the file

I just need a GUI click that shows me download files starting most recently. Only need to do it once in a while. Thanks for all those that have given me complex command line info but I only need to do it once in a while and a click should do it.

Hi,

Could anyone please help me?

I want to track editing made in the last some days into my systems’ network interface file (ens192).

Thanks and Regards,
