Shell Script To Outputs File Permissions of Most Recently Modified File
Dear All,
I was wondering if there are somebody would be able to help me with my task. I was asked to write a shell script (/bin/sh) which outputs the file permissions of the most recently modified file in the current directory. If those file permissions are " -rw-r----- " then the name of the file should be appended to a file called "log". Please help me..
