how do I recursively search a path and only show the most recently modified file with a timestamp?
$ find /your/path -type f -printf '%T@ %p
$ ' | sort -n | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}'
$ ' | sort -n | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}'
try on your machine
Recursively search /your/path for files and print their timestamp and filepath, then sort by timestamp and show only the most recent file with its filepath.
