Hi

If you want to see last any entry in directory:

ls -r <dir> | head -1

If you want to see last directory entry in directory:

ls -F -r <dir> | grep '/$' | head -1

Good lack

Hi

If you want to see any type entry in directory:

ls -r /tmp/my-test/testing/logs/mars | head -1

if you want to see only directory ( only water directory ) entry in directory:

ls -F -r  /tmp/my-test/testing/logs/mars | grep '/$' | head -1

Good lack
