File Created/Modified Year

[Shahul]

Hi All

Can some one tell me how will I see the year of a file created/last modified. ll command will show the year only for the files which are created before six months.

Now my problem is, I have been changing the system time to past and future.. Now I am not able to trace which file created when. If I can see the year field for all files, It is OK for me..

Thanks in advnace

Hi

Find should do it

- mtime
- atime
- ctime

See man find.

Now for the bad news, if you know the creation time it's only by accident. ctime really refers to the lasst time the file was changed (e.g. chmod'ed); there is not creation time in UNIX.

Ya..This works

#echo /home/user/file |cpio -o 2>/dev/null |cpio -ivt 2 >/dev/null

Thanks to all
