How ro write the ngc path and file name to a logfile

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.

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:

forum.linuxcnc.org/21-axis/8700-opens-on...st-created-file#8759

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
