There's a way to know the date of the last snapshot in command line? I want the result of this command for use in Conky. Or just open a terminal and type it. Maybe is simple, but my knowhow of linux is not good. When I use "timeshift --list" it shows all snapshots and this:

$ timeshift --list Application needs admin access. Please run the application as admin (using 'sudo' or 'su')

You can parse it from output of "snapshot --list". A command line option can also be added.
