I'm looking for a simple shell script to get the modification date
of the
last modified file in a folder's complete hierarchy.
I'm trying to write a script to make sure that when a job is
written to our
server, that I can make sure it has the most recent files. I
already have
shell scripts that check the count of files in the hierarchy (as
well as
logging the filepaths) and I would like to add a warning if it does
not find
the same date for the last modified files in each folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Copy, paste, compile, run!
on open dropList
tell application "Finder"
if (count items of dropList) > 1 then return
set folderRef to (item 1 of dropList) as alias
if (class of item folderRef) is not folder then return
--
set mostRecentFile to ¬
(item 1 of (sort (files of entire contents of folderRef) ¬
by modification date)) as alias
set mostRecentModDate to modification date of mostRecentFile
--
reveal mostRecentFile
display dialog mostRecentModDate as text
end tell
end open
