Time of last access of a file, the information is taken from the inode, only if the filesystem doesn't have the noatime option.

$ stat -s $file_or_diskname | tr ' ' '\n' | grep atime
st_atime=1130490958
$ date -r 1130490958

It can be helpful reading the atime of a script to see when it was last run. Perhaps an rc script to see when a service was started/stoppped/restarted.
