hello himacs,

in very simple way,
you can use ls -altr command which will list out files /directory modify in accending order

here is output example to undestand more,

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 685 Nov 4 2003 .rhosts.cfsaved
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Nov 4 2003 .ncftp
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 1024 Jan 16 2004 .cpan
-rw------- 1 root root 17542 Jan 16 2004 .lsof_stang103
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1475 Feb 20 2004 .profile
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Apr 17 2006 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36 Jun 23 2006 .netrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 369 Jun 23 2006 a.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 740 May 17 2007 .rhosts
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Sep 13 2007 .subversion
drwx------ 2 root root 1024 Apr 27 14:19 .ssh
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 1024 Apr 30 17:01 .
-rwxr-x--x 1 root root 958 Apr 30 17:01 system.perf.sh
drwxrwxr-x 30 root root 1024 May 1 00:01 .hist

Are you talking about in a program you want to find the time_t value?
Or in a script?
Or you want more resolution other than down to minutes?

Does it really matter if so long ago? :-)

>Basheer: I think the system lists up to 6 months

Yes, as documented.

So other threads on how to change this:
