Re: See timestamps in linux

the date printed by the 'ls -l' is the modification time. You can get the modification time with more precision using 'ls -l --full-time'.

Re: See timestamps in linux

some linux systems have the ll alias

ll

which is the same as ls -l

You can also use the command stat

like

# stat 'filename'
or
# stat *

I usualy use a perl script that uses perl stat()

Smile I will feel the difference
