I forgot to lock my machine and I suspect some confidential files were copied. How can I tell what was copied?

You can use the -atime
option to the find
command (see man find
Online man
page), and the -u
and/or --time=use
options to ls
(see man ls
Online man
page).
all of the above says command not found. could you give an example please?

@WannabeJavaGeek it's possible withman
is not installed (doeswhich man
really print nothing to console?), but almost impossible thatls
isn't available. Check again, please. Did you realise that some of the highlighted words are arguments above?

man
is only explaining. no examples and i am new in linux. an example would work here

I remember that the-atime
switch only works when the underlying filesystem maintains that attribute which it doesn't by default for performance and other reasons (e.g. SSD wear out). Am I wrong?

@PerlDuck it depends on the filesystem in use, and how it's mounted. OP didn't even specify if it was SSD.
