I have written a bunch of wrappers for several utilizes which operate on
the last file modified.
For example:
vil, catl, headl, taill, wcl ...
rml which displays the file and asks for confirmation
mvl /newname/
chmodl a+r
Does anybody like this idea and would like to see it expanded or have
any related suggestions?
I use something similar with my "newest" script:
https://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/newest
That can be called directly to list the newest files,
or could be leveraged for non modifying commands at least like:
alias lessl='less $(newest -n1)'
I'm not sure "newest" is useful enough to make more generally available,
but I do use it most days TBH.
