Help on ls -l Command

[abhay kumar_1]

For files older than 1 year, the ls -l command shows modification date/time as year and month only.

How can I get the last modification date/time in YYYY MM DD HH:MI:SS format for files older than 1 year when running LS -L command.

Try ls -altr (reverse order.

or ls -alt

Hi:

Standard Unix. However, you can get a "super ls" from here:

Hi abhay,

Try this:

# ls -acl

This will list the time of last modification of the inode (file creation, mode changes etc)

HTH,

I don't think there is a way because for files that havent been accessed in that long, the month/day/year format is all hpux cares about.

Perhaps the gurus out there may come up with something more magical for you.

Good luck,
Chris

The key here is that the file is older than one year.

For clarification purposes, try this :

1. Create a file with modification date and time of Jan 2, 2001 12:35 PM.

touch -m 0101123502 new

2. LS -L output is shown below :

0 Jan 1 12:35 new

3. Now change the modification date/time to Jan 1, 2001 12:35

touch -m 0101123501 new

4. Now try the LS -LTRA command.

0 Jan 1 2001 new

Notice that hour/minute information is missing.

Kind of a hack and rather slow, especially for large file, but UNIX standard:

$ ll /usr/conf/lib/libspt.a
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 63556 Oct 30 1997 /usr/conf/lib/libspt.a
$ echo /usr/conf/lib/libspt.a | cpio -o 2>/dev/null | cpio -ivt 2>/dev/null
100444 bin 63556 Oct 30 23:50:34 1997 /usr/conf/lib/libspt.a

Hi


Another hack but easy

tar -cf - dtksh.examples/|tar -tVf -

Gives user no and gid which is only disadvantage

Hi

here is a pointer


find $1 -mtime +365|while read line
do
if [ -d $line ]
then
echo " "
echo $(ll -d $line)
else
echo $(ll $line|cut -c1-32) $(tar -cf - $line|tar -tVpf -|cut -c 17-128)
fi
done
