Hi all,

I know the command 'ls' will give the list of files existing in a directory.but i want to know which option will give the complete date(2006-02-08) and time(15:06).

Please help me ASAP.

you never heard of a manpage?? ls -l

long output format

To have more info:

Better ls -al

Hi all,

Thanks for ur help.I know ls,man ls ,ls -al,ls -l etc.
But my question is for AIX. Can u plz try on ur AIX machine and let me know if it(ls -al,ls -l etc.) works.
I need complete date(2006-02-08) and time(15:06)of all the files in a directory.

from the "ls" man pages -->

-l (Lower case L) Displays the mode, number of links, owner, group, size (in bytes), and time of last modification for each file. If the file is a special file, the size field contains the major and minor device numbers. >>>>> If the time of last modification is greater than six months ago, the time field is shown in the format month date year where as files modified within six months the time field is shown as month date time format <<<<<

So, use istat or write a script that uses "perl->stat()" function

Hello Uday123,

what you will need to do is use the istat command on aix and it will give you the info over the file about access time mod time a nd creation time. You will have to write a script to make istat run on all of the files.
