How to add the Date & Time stamp...

Hi.,

I know by using the touch command we can able to update the time stamp for the files.

But how can I apply the timestamp for all the folders & Subfolders in my diresctory.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Suseendran,

# find /path/to/dir -xdev -exec touch {} \;

Hi,
if you want to change the access time for all files in /tmp AND below:

find /tmp -exec touch {} \;

The find will find all files and directories below /tmp and the exec will touch each of them.
The exec part of the statement is considered process intensive.

Hi:

# cd /path && find /path -xdev -print|xargs touch -camt 10160841

...for example.

# find /path/to/dir -type f ...
