I do something like this in my scripting:
ls -rt /pg_xlog/ | grep -v "backup\|archive" | tail -1
(My pg_xlog is on a different disk set from the PGDATA dir.)
It appears to work fine for me. Don't forget to make a base backup before you
begin the WAL archiving, or you won't be able to restore anything.
