The one I use most often is:

ls -lt

This sorts the files by most recent date first.

What do you mean by 'processes' in unix environment?

A "process" is a program. In multitasking environments such as Unix or Windows - in fact, in most modern operating systems - the computer can run multiple processes at the same time. Note that not all of such processes need to have a visible window - some can be hidden from the user, until you use a special tool or command to list the processes.


What is difference between finger and who commands in unix?

Well, in the world of Unix, the 'finger' command is like a gentle tap on the shoulder, providing basic information about a user, such as their login name, full name, and the last time they were active. On the other hand, the 'who' command is more like a friendly wave, showing you a list of users who are currently logged into the system, along with details like their usernames and login times. Both commands offer a peek into the community of users on the Unix system, just in different ways.


UNIX may be described as being difficult to use Why?

Traditionally, the UNIX command interface was the only way to communicate within a UNIX system. Today, that is not true, with the graphical interfaces that are available. However, the true power of what you can do within UNIX is still in the command line interface. The command line interface is not very intuitive, and uses commands that are abbreviated to the point of not necessarily being understandable. Also, system administration tasks in Unix have typically been harder to accomplish because of the amount of background knowledge necessary even to do simple things. UNIX was developed early on for programmers by programmers, and little thought was given to the end user; as a result, it had a reputation of being difficult to use until you took the time to understand the (admittedly) arcane command line interface.
