ls -l and file date format

[Wessel Baptist]

Hi,
ls -l(ell) Reports directory listing in long format, giving amongst date and/or time of last modification for each file. If the time of last modification is greater than six months ago the year is substituted for the hour and minute of the modification time.
Is there a way that I can get always the date instead of the time?

Hi:

There is a "super ls" utility available at the porting archive that accomodates your request:

Hello,

As far as I know, no. You will always get the month and day, but the year is only for files older than 6 mos.

Sorry if this didn't give you what you need.

Hi,

I think it's not possible.

this is also good: a C source for 'lsi'

Hi,

first thank you all for your respons.

James,
The ???super ls??? I think is not Year2K compliant. Files created yesterday are reported as made in 1910.

Procura,
The Perl statement as you give to me, doesn???t do anything, but when I add en spave between ???-le??? en the quote (' ) it reports some errors:
bmsd210:root:/tmp> perl -le'@ARGV or@ARGV=qw(*);for(map{glob$_}@ARGV){chomp($x=localtime((stat$_)[9]));print"$x $_"}'
syntax error in file /tmp/perl-ea28386 at line 1, next 2 tokens "@ARGV or"
syntax error in file /tmp/perl-ea28386 at line 1, next 2 tokens "map{"
syntax error in file /tmp/perl-ea28386 at line 1, next token "}"
Execution of /tmp/perl-ea28386 aborted due to compilation errors.
bmsd210:root:/tmp>
But I???m not familiar with perl.
And thanks for the lsi-csript but I don???t have an ANSI C-compiler.

Anyone:
I still have my problem with ls ???l and the report of the filedate.

Regards
Wessel.

Hi Wessel,
if all other possibilities have been exhausted, try the attached script, using the file whose last modification date you request as par1.
It is slow, but works on my system.

John K.

Maybe you are using an ancient version of perl, because my output was of a real test

# which perl
should not be /usr/contrib/bin/perl
# perl -v
should not be 4.036, but preferably 5.6.1 or 5.8.0

lsi.c should not need an ANSI C compiler. The bundled compiler should be enough

Prebuild HP-UX 11.00 and 10.20 binaries for both perl-5.8.0 and gcc-3.2 (free ANSI C compiler) are available on both my ITRC page https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn and HP porting centers around the world (http://hpux.connect.org.uk/)

hi,

I don't like very much this 'super ls' but I modified the source to make it work. Just compile it using 'make' and run 'sls -l *'. It should work ...

Regards.

[Wessel Baptist]

Hi,

John, this is what I was looking for. As you said not fast but it works. Thanks.

Procura,
I couldn???t find perl for hpux10.20.
???make lsi.c??? gives errors and no executable. Sorry.
But John (see above) and Jean-Louis (see below) profided me a working solution. But thanks any way.

Jean-Louis,
Super sl works as I wanted. Tanks.

All,
Many thanks for your respons.

Wessel

What errors?

perl-5.8.0 for 10.20 can be found in the download section https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/#Downloads rightmost column, links to https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/perl-5.8.0-gcc-3.2-10.20-pa11-ora.tbz

lsi now uploaded as https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/lsi-pa1.1

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Does your connection support https? (note the s)
I cannot offer you anything else for perl ...

I've put lsi on http://home.hccnet.nl/h.m.brand/lsi-pa1.1

[Wessel Baptist]

Procura,
If???ve downloaded lsi-pa1.1 and it worked.
Perhaps the problem in contacting www.beepz.com is due to https. I have sometimes problems in contacting secure sites.

Thanks for your help.
