Hello everybody;

I am new to unix.

Thanks for creating such a informative forum,

I wanted to know that how can i list top 10 files in my current dir. which were accesed recently by using ls command.

Thank You.

try typing: head name of the file where the document is contained

if u typed ls -al, u can use:
ls -al | head - 11
as the first line is the total size

while if u just typed ls, u can use
ls | head
as head command shows first 10 line

head -n 20, shows 20 line, an so on ...


I hope this will solve your problem
