General :: Descending List Ordered By File Modification Time
Feb 28, 2011
How can I generate a list of files in a directory [e.g.: "/mnt/hdd/PUB/"] ordered by the files modification time? [in descending order, the oldest modified file is at the lists end]
ls -A -lRt would be great:[URL]
But if a file is changed in a directory it lists the full directory...so the pastebined link isn't good [i don't want a list ordered by "directories", I need a "per file" ordered list]
OS: openwrt..[no perl -> not enough space for it :( + no "stat", or "file" command]

The tail of my log is the following:
BUT:
So, how is it possible that some process writes to the file but file time modification still remains untouched?

I don't think there is a way of doing this with date or clock commands. But maybe they are writing to some file and I can take a look at the file's modification time. dmesg and /var/log/messages show nothing relevant.

It seems to be simple one, but couldn't figure out exactly. Say I copy a file preserving its original modification time using the command
Code:
cp -p file1 file2
Now later, I want to know when file2 was copied... How do I find it ?

I know there exists a touch command to change the date of the files. However, I want to change the files of a directory and the directory time. Is there a command like -R. Please provide me an example of the command?

I'd like to change a files modification date "only" without changing the time. I'm aware of the 'touch' command but is seems like it only allows changing both the date and time, and not one of them. Any ideas on an easy way to change a file's modification date without also changing its time? (I have a long list of files and thus would like to run one to command to change them all)Example: Change a file's (month) timestamp from "2010-09-23 11:59:23" to "2010-10-23 11:59:23"Background: I accidentally set the wrong month on my camera and ended up with all photos having a modification timestamp with the wrong month.

I've recently installed suse x64 kde in dual boot mode with windows. I have 2 primary partitions with ntfs with 1 for windows7 boot and other for data/storage. There is no boot provision for data partition. SUSE install is on extended partition. I am unable to run fdisk -l and boot info script for some reason, kde is freaking me out (used to use gnome for last 4 years). The GRUB shows data as a boot and it added an entry in its menu. I will like to remove that entry from menu list.

Is it possible to list all jobs and their pids from a certain time frame? For instance if I needed to see all completed jobs from yesterday how would I do this? I've tried jobs -n but that was messed up because I had typed jobs right before that.

I am currently trying to turn off ordered data mode for ext3 filesystem. I want to shred some files and apparently this won't work with journaling on.
I can't seem to find any good explanations of what exactly "ordered data" means in terms of data recovery/security...or at least none that are written in simple n00b terms. It is all written in terms of disk crashes and whether old data will mix in with the new. It doesn't say whether one's cousin will be able to poke around and find some thought-it-was-deleted porno if he's on the computer.
Can someone step me through the process of turning this off using tune2fs? (if that is the best way to do it!) Do I have to revert to ext2? Can I turn it back on later? Will I lose data (for example, does the drive need to be reformated?) once this change is made? And how does one find, read, and delete/shred the journal itself? Is "ordered data" even a real problem for data recovery?

Given the following data structure: Quote:
[Code]...
What is the minimum possible MySQL query to get a random data selection that includes each Index number only once and ordered ascending. The maximum index number is known. For example running the query should get the following data: 01, 06, 07, 02. Running the query again, you may get the same data or another possible combination like: 01, 05, 07, 04. Of course you could run a loop for 1 to max_index and process a random ordered data selection until the next index number is found. But I think this will result in too many database access. Also you could run max_index queries to get all IDs that correspond to the given index and randomly select one ID for each index.

I need to get the modified date on a file in linux to use in a script.I tried using 'ls -l' on the file, but this caused problems when the date turned from a single digit into a double. The reason for the problem was because I was parsing the result string on spaces.How can I get the date of the last time a file was modified so I can use it in a script? For example, if a file was modified on 1/11/2010, I need the 11.

Using PHP 5.x. I would like to sort a set of values first numerically, then alphabetically. For example, here's my code so far:
Code:
<?php
print "<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:10pt">
";
$myArray = array("1223:starfruit", "34112:oranges", "1223:zucchini", "321:apples", "34112:pears", "1223:tomatoes");
[code]....
I have fiddled with array_multisort but I can't seem to get my head around it or the many sort routines in PHP.

I have an HP laptop with both Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows Vista installed on it.
The other day I noticed I was running out of space in the main linux partition (the / partition, not the /home partition), so I decided to move some space from the Windows partition and move it to the linux one. I used a GParted Live CD to do that.
My partitions are ordered as follows:
Windows Vista partition (NTFS)
Main linux partition / (ext3)
Linux home partition /hom (ext3)
HP RECOVERY (NTFS - I don't know what it is, it just comes with HP laptops that have Vista on them)
So I shrank partition 1, and then "moved" partition 2 to enlarge it (GParted said everything was alright).
After doing that, I went to my linux and everything seemed to be fine, I'm also quite sure I had access to my Windows partition as always. But today I tried to start my Windows and it just got stuck on the "loading" stage (that screen that says "Microsoft Corporation" and has a green loading bar). So I shut the computer down manually (by holding the power button for a few seconds). After doing that a couple of time, I went to my linux, which worked just fine, but I was not able to go to the Windows partition. You can see how GParted looks now for my computer:[url]
As you can see, the first partition (/dev/sda1), which is supposed to be the Windows partition, is not mounted and the system doesn't seem to be able to read it properly. Here is my attempt to mount it manually:
Code:
Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:
Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.
Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for your own responsibility. For example type on the command line: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /windows/ -o force
Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file: /dev/sda1 /windows/ ntfs-3g force 0 0

I have a folder with hundreds of .txt files (logs of some java application) that I have to merge in to one single .txt file. This application produces a new log file everyday:
day1: logFriday10September2010.txt
day2: logSaturday11September2010.txt
...
day8: logFriday17September2010.txt
...
and so on...
I could merge the files easily with "cat" and ">>" however, the problem is that I have to do it by taking into account the date (creation or modification) of the file.
If I simple use the cat command the output file will receive for example, all Fridays in a row, then all Saturdays, etc. and in that way I'm not considering the date.
I've searched for the options of the find command, since the files after creation are not modified...I try to use this for example:
$ find . -newer <some old file>
but that lists me all files after that <old file> and not by correct date.

I've published a samba share on a Ubuntu 8.10 server, and mounted the share on a windows box. For some strange reason the files are not sorted by file name (nor by any other sorting type) if I list them from the Windows command line (dir). I could always use the "dir /on" parameter, but I hope there's a way to make samba sort the files for me
