How ro write the ngc path and file name to a logfile was created by Earlton2
I use a script to load linuxcnc. I then manually File>Open or File>Recent the ngc file I wish to run. Is there any way to save the name of that ngc file to a log file, either from a g-code (msg,... ) etc, or a post script capture from a data file. I found the path and file listed in Machine > Show Linuxcnc status, but I don't know where that data is held or what to call linuxcnctop with, should I then be able to "| grep file" on it's output.
#!/bin/bash
# log file for date stamps
cnclog=/home/cnc/cnc-docs/SKIDDAW/linuxcnc/eaicnc.log
echo "run linuxcnc after disabling audio and ethernet"
sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop
amixer set Master mute
echo "Start: $(date)" >> $cnclog
linuxcnc /home/cnc/linuxcnc/configs/EAI07TPCPWM/EAI07TPCPWM.ini
sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start
amixer set Master unmute
echo "Stop: $(date)" >> $cnclogPlease Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

The last-opened file is automatically saved to a log file, that is how Axis knows what the recent files are.
Here is a hack to Axis that automatically opens that file:

Thanks Andy, I never thought to look for "." files nor would I have looked in USER. This is the line I added to my startup script so I now save the path and name of the last ngc file along with the time I spent during the run.
cat ~/.axis_preferences | grep recent | awk '{print $3}' >> $cnclog
cat ~/.axis_preferences | grep recent | awk '{print $3}' >> $cnclog
