          You can use the -atime option to the find command (see man findOnline man page), and the -u and/or --time=use options to ls (see man lsOnline man page).

            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.
