Get Last Accessed File Time In Ubuntu Linux
Ubuntu Linux has a rich set of commands for manipulating and accessing files. The stat utility gives detailed access to file information, including last accessed and last modified file time.
From the terminal window, run the command with this syntax:
stat filename
Here’s an example of checking the last time I’ve run Firefox on one of my machines:
# stat firefox-bin
File: `firefox-bin’
