topic Re: file creation in Operating System - HP-UX https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/file-creation/m-p/3933685#M287746 Hi:<BR /><BR />Unix has no such attribute as a "creation" timestamp. The closest you can come is a modification ('mtime'). When a file or directory is first created, the 'mtime' is what you would call a creation time. Thereafter, any modification (other than permission, name, or ownership change constitues a change in 'mtime'.<BR /><BR />To find all files modified after midnight today, do:<BR /><BR /># touch -amt 01270000 /tmp/myref<BR /># find / -type f -newer /tmp/myref -print<BR /><BR />See the manpages for 'touch' and 'find'. See the manpages for 'stat(2)' for more information on 'mtime'.<BR /><BR />Regards!<BR /><BR />...JRF... Sat, 27 Jan 2007 10:47:41 GMT James R.
