Script to provide content of latest file in the folder

[yunushaikh]

Hello Experts,

I have a directory where all the backup output file are stored with the timestamp. I want my script to provide me the output of that recently modified file.

Is there any command from which I can view the recently modified file instead of specifying filename, because filename contains the timestamp.

This is a script problem for FreeBSD.

For eg. from the pfSense Shell command line:

ls -rt /cf/conf/backup/config-*.xml | tail -n 1

Will give you the last backup config file saved.

There's probably a few hundred ways to skin this cat,  just need to do a little research.

Google is your friend  ;)
