Hi Kanus

If you want to get only last access time of specific file you could use "ls" command as follow:
Code:
ls -ltu --time-style=+%H:%M:%S yourfile # print last access time of yourfile with seconds precision.

Or

ls -l --time=access -u --time-style=+%H:%M:%S yourfile # print last access time of yourfile with seconds precision.

If you want to get recursively (in subfolders too), last access time all files/folders you can do:
Code:
ls -lR --time=access -u --sort=time --time-style=+%H:%M:%S # Sorted by time, last accessed on top

Other examples (if "--time, --sort" options don't work in your system) try:
(*All the following examples aren't printed with seconds precision, because --time-style=+FORMAT is missing.
Code:
ls -ltu yourfile #access time of yourfile
 
ls -ltu #sort by, and show, access time all files within folder, except subfolders

ls -ltuR #sort by, and show, access time all files within folder and subfolders

I hope this is near what you need and work in your system.

Regards.
