ls -l lets me see when the file was created, how can I see or sort by last accessed.
Im wanting to delete files that have not been accessed in N days.

Full Version: Linux, how do I check when a file was last accessed?
i had t odo something simular here a section of code, HTH
CODE
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (($file != ".") && ($file != "..") && (!is_dir($file))) {
$time_elapsed = (date("U",time()) - date("U",fileatime($dir . $file)));
echo "<br> Filename: $file n";
$days = $time_elapsed / 86400;
echo "last accessed: $days ";
echo " days ago. n";
if ($time_elapsed > $seconds) {
echo $file . " :: ";
// if (unlink($dir . $file)) {
// echo " <b><i>deleted</i></b> n";
// }
}
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (($file != ".") && ($file != "..") && (!is_dir($file))) {
$time_elapsed = (date("U",time()) - date("U",fileatime($dir . $file)));
echo "<br> Filename: $file n";
$days = $time_elapsed / 86400;
echo "last accessed: $days ";
echo " days ago. n";
if ($time_elapsed > $seconds) {
echo $file . " :: ";
// if (unlink($dir . $file)) {
// echo " <b><i>deleted</i></b> n";
// }
}
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
Thanks allot that looks like it will do the trick. Is there a way I can see last accessed date in shell?
