That worked
This Worked.
file_name=`ls -ltr /dir1/dir2 | grep '^-' | tail -1 | awk '{print $9}' `
>>
I wouldn't use four external commands just the get a filename
>>
Is there an alternate to just get the latest file name from a dir?
I used grep to just get files from a dir or skip the dirs underneath it, tail -1 gives the latest file name. Awk just prints the name.
Thanks.

MTAIL(1) User Commands MTAIL(1) NAME
mtail - tail variant designed for web developers monitoring logfiles SYNOPSIS
mtail [options] <file>... DESCRIPTION
MonkeyTail allows a user to tail multiple files on both local and remote hosts and clearly marks inactivity by putting 5 newlines in the output whenever a pause in output over 3 seconds is detected. MonkeyTail is implemented a fairly simple wrapper script around standard tail, ssh, and sudo. OPTIONS
-q Quiet mode --quiet " " -n Output the last N lines of each file before tailing (defaults to 0) <file>... Files to tail. These can specified in the following ways: @<groupname> - expands the group (from .mtailrc) to a list of files to tail <filename> - tails a local file. +<filename> - attempts to sudo and tail a local file (will prompt for pwd if required). <remotehost>:<filename> - attempts to invoke tail via ssh on a remote host. +<remotehost>:<filename> - attempts to invoke sudo tail via ssh on a remote host (will prompt for pwd if required).
