Hi,

I am using the following script to creates list of accessed files.I like to add modified date and time of accessed files in the output.

For this what needs to be added in the below script??

Any help..Thanks in advance.

#!/bin/bash
#
# creates list of accessed files
#
set $(date)
find /hdc160GB/programmers/projects -cmin -1440 > /hdc160GB/programmers/data/fileschanged/alert_$6-$2-$3.txt

homework? - but with honest attempt so it is OK... consider

-cmin -$time looks for files created $time minutes ago - don't you want -mmin -$time

Hint: what does this do?

find $search-dir -name $sought-file -printf %t

Thanks for your reply.

I got the solution i just added (-ls) to my script to print the modified date and time against each file in log.

This script is to log list of modified files in last 24 hours.

#!/bin/bash
#
# creates list of accessed files
#
set $(date)
find /hdc160GB/programmers/projects -cmin -1440 -ls > /hdc160GB/programmers/data/fileschanged/alert_$6-$2-$3.txt

Well done - it is usually a matter of hunting through the options.
