In a large and deep directory structure of configuration files, where has the most recent change activity happened?
In a nested directory of (many) uploaded files, where are the 10 oldest files?
There doesn't seem to be a good, existing command line tool for this. One can chain together six unix tools: https://troelsarvin.blogspot.com/2024/09/find-recently-updat...
But the chained method is not as fast and light-weight as I'd like, especially when dealing with a file system that has a huge amount of files.
So I have written a little tool that you may also find useful. I've called it "topnfiles".
