Quick answer: How might one retrieve the path to the most recent entry in a directory to pass to something else in a bash script?




kspecial@xzziroz:/tmp$ echo $OLDPWD
/home/kspecial
kspecial@xzziroz:/tmp$ echo $PWD
/tmp
kspecial@xzziroz:/tmp$

PWD contains the current directory while OLDPWD contains the last accessed directory.
