ls, not ll as you mentioned, on hpux, is not designed to stamp "year" portion of the date to a file unless it is more than one year old. I am not sure what you are after but, if this is a necessity, you can write a script to read the output of ls -l command and output the listing in a way you desire. But there is no option in ls command that will give you the result you want.

I think when the file is older more than 6 months, (or maybe 180 days) it uses year.

Hi Ashan:

The standard UNIX behavior is described in the 'ls' manpages, "If the time of last modification is greater than six months ago, or any time in the future, the year is substituted for the hour and minute of the modification time."

You can, however, do something like this:

# ls -alrt|awk -v YEAR=$(date +%Y) '{if ($8~/:/) {$8=YEAR};$NF=$NF;print}'

The original "ls -l" output date-time format
may represent one of the worst "design"
decisions anywhere in UNIX. On the bright
side, GNU "ls" offers more date-time format
options than anyone should want, including
"--time-style=style=+", which can
do nearly anything except send e-mail.

http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/
http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Formatting-file-timestamps.html

I quote:

To avoid certain denial-of-service
attacks, timestamps that would be
longer than 1000 bytes may be treated
as errors.

If that's not scary, what is?

You can modify a copy of ls.cat to have your own format:

>Mel: ls, not ll as you mentioned,

ls(1) and ll(1) are the same executable.

Right, 180 days, or an hour in the future.
