General :: Add Time Stamps To Files?
Dec 14, 2010
Currently I am using the following command to copy and add date and time stamp to files.cp /home/work/file.grn /home/xfer/rename_`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S'.grn.If I have five files for ex: file_1.grn, file_2.grn,file_3.grn ...can I copy those five files a different directory and with a different file name and with date time stamp to it.The output filenames name_1_yyyymmddhhmmss.grn,rename_2_yyyymmddhhmmss.grn,rename_3_yyyymmddhhmmss.grn ...

For the second time in a week, I have set up an unmanaged CentOS 5.5 Storm Server at StormOnDemand, only to discover a ton of unauthorized changes to binaries (updated file checksums and sizes) on the server shortly thereafter.The time stamps do NOT change.If the time stamps did change, I would be hunting down ahat was doing some auto-updates. But the time stamps are not changing.This leads me to believe that either these servers are suffering from:1. A virus or hacker is compromising the box.2. system corruption.3. Something else? To eliminate the possibility of number 1, I toasted the first server and started over with a new server and enabled their firewall from the start to only allow access for two IPs via SSH... my IP and my biz partner's.
Then, one of the first things we installed was a system we created that maintains a snapshot of most directories on the system so that it can be used to watch the live directories for changes. At 4:07am (server time) this morning, we received notice from this system that a massive number of files had changed in these directories. Again, no file time stamps changed.So, my question is this... is there any legitimate reason in a fairly standard CentOS 5.5 install that would cause so many files to change?

I've these 2 UNIX timestamps values taken from the java method System.currentTimeMillis(). These 2 timestamps correspond to the start time and the end time of 2 process that ran. Here are the values:
Code:
starttime ---------------- endtime
1301005328042 ----------- 1301005352079

I have two machines, both are centos 4.4 (one is a virtual machine, the other is not) they are treating file timestamps differently. Below is an example from each of the machines to demonstrate.
Code:
[behaving as expected]
-bash-3.00$ ls -1t --full-time

I wrote this little script and I need some help, I am trying to achieve following:Every day I receive new file in the /home/denis/MyData/ folder and I don't know what the file mane will be but I want to move any file that arrives there to the new location /media/DataBackup/Linux/backup/ (media/DataBackup/ is external 500GB USB drive)to automatically create new folder with the date and time stamp every day and then to move content of the /home/denis/MyData/ into the new folder with current date stamp. So every day there will be new folder and will contain files for that day only.My script is as follows:
cd /media/DataBackup/Linux/backup/
mkdir MyData_$(date +%Y%b%d_%HH%MM)
#this creates file MyData_current date and time
[code]...

For like windows you can resore your os to a state of peace kind of. If you messed up your vital files you could go back in time and restore you computer to a selected time. I was wondering if you could do that for ubuntu

I have two systems running on linux. system one is running with RHEL 5.4/X86_64 hardware, system two is running with RHEL 5.3/i686 hardware. One filesystem is shared from system two and mounted as NFS on system one. Now when i do a copy from local filesystem to the NFS share from system one,it shows as follows
Quote:
-rw-r--r-- 1 xkinved rbak1 30 Mar 3 2011 king
But if i do copy with -p option then it shows right time stamp. Both machines are running with slight(minutes) different in time. Does this could be cause for this problem? The problem is happening while i do FTP from some other machines too.

We have a script that FTP files 3 times a day, once ant 02:30, 04:00 and 13:00. Once the process runs it puts a copy of the file sent in the processed folder. What I'm trying to do is check to see if the files are there and if not send an alert /email. The file names are IVF_20100806_*.150, PLAZ_ 20100806_*.151, TRAN_20100806_*.152 and TRAN_20100806_*.151
This is what I have
#!/bin/ksh

. ${HOME}/.bash_profile
check_file()

I'm rather new to linux, and I have a dedi server. I know how to browse, install, remove etc, all the basics needed to use it. I've installed flvtool2, memcoder and ffmpeg, and at the moment im converting avi files in to flv. Im then passing metadata using yamdi.
However, this process is very timely as im converting loads of avi files at a time.Im looking for a script, or a way where I can execute one command/script and which will convert all files in the directory I specify, then run those converted files through yamdi.Im guessing it would be some sort of loop, and then changing for each file?

when we do enter on a folder it take some time for loading the folder depending on the no of entries in the folder . If the folder has more entries it take more time to load and if less no of entries then correspondingly less time . the delay in loading the folder varies due to reading of the folder entries in advance . SO what i want to know is that what is the MAX no of entries read in advance while opening a folder in linux and also how can we calculate this

I'm trying to make a shell script that will list the 50 newest files in a directory with several subdirectories in. I've been trying with the find-command with no luck and now I've figured I should probably use ls. The problem is when I do "ls -lRt | head -50" it will do 1 directory at the time. It will not first make the full list and then sort it. This will display all items in first directory, sorted, then the newest directory will be sorted and displayed. So I figured I have to sort the whole process of ls before I limit the head. So this is where I am at now: ls -lRt | sort <something clever here> | head -50
Only doing a "|sort|" will sort it by name if I understand it right and I don't know how to solve it. Here's also my first attempt if that is of any interrest or help, this was limited by the change status time of files (so some lists got very large). These lists dit not get sorted by time and I could not find any way to do so.find $ftpDir -ctime $time -type f -print > $ftpFileLsAny help on this would be appreciated since I'm sort of stuck now. After reading manuals for all the options I can think of and still there's just a big blur in my head..

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 have a linux (Slackware) machine and the time/date is like, June 23rd 2003, 10:00am (It's 11 here) and I am not able to set the time to have it correct. I change the timezome to Montreal but the time is still wrong.
Is there a way to force it to sync with my domain controler or even another online NTP server?

I'm just wondering what the limits for time are. I have a program that always takes exactly 20 ms, so I assume this is the lowest it can measure, but I want to see if there's some sort of documentation of this.

I admit this has been a particularly bad year for me, but it isn't THAT unusual by my standards. I typically spend I would reckon quite honestly about 70-80% of my time with computers just fixing stuff up that either I broke or was broke in the first place. Usually it's the latter by some considerable margin. That's really inefficient, isn't it? I just wondered what others' experiences are of this phenomenon. Obviously I don't do computers for a living or I would have starved years ago. So what is the Panel's consensus view on the percentage of wasted time we should expect to spend, on average, "running just to stand still" on maintenance tasks?

I am trying to find a nightly backup if it was successfully copied over, rename it and curl, but it's always passing the check even if the file is older than specified. From the command line it does as it should. Example is here;
Code:
find /backup -type f -mmin +4440 -exec echo "found" {} ;
- nothing returned (good). Then I change the time

I am using ubuntu 8.04.When I install software from internet then files are downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives so i keep those debian files in safe place so that I can install that software on another stand-alone computer.
MY question: When we run 'apt-get update' for first time after fresh install it downloads some files. Can i store those files & point to them for a networkless computer which has no internet ? If this is possible it will allow me to 'apt-get check' on stand-alone computer to see if any package is not proper.

I have to copy and move files over two systems all the time. So when I am on system 1, I simply use the command
Code:
$scp * system2:/some_directory
There are many files in PWD of system1 with different extensions. Of all the files in the PWD on system1, I don't need a file called *residual.dat as it it particularly big and wastes a lot of time copying.How can I make a shortcut so that every time I do scp, it copies everything but the *residual.dat file?

what i wanted to do was find all the files with a specific name from a tree, sort them by modification time and have their directory appended to them so that i knew where they were (because they all have the same name). i tried a whole bunch of different things and finally did this:
Code:
find . -type f -name world.sav -exec ls -l '{}' ; > ~/dfsaves.txt; gawk '{$1=""; $2=""; $3=""; $4=""; $5=""; print}' ~/dfsaves.txt | sort -n > ~/dfsavessorted.txt
this did the trick pretty well, but as you can see it is far from elegant and i think i'm doing some things wrong and kludgy
first thing i tried was "ls -lRt | grep world.sav" which worked except i couldnt distinguish the files because there were no directories. that took a lot of looking till i accepted i couldnt make ls print directories as well and append them to the files somehow that their relationship would be clear. i tried piping ls to find, doing it in reverse, passing them from grep etc. etc. until i read some more stuff online that got me using gawk and sort. the questions:
1. is there some other, more elegant and simple way to do this kind of detection and sorting?
2. is there any way to use a pipe after using exec? the semicolon seems to prevent this entirely, forcing me to use an intermediate file as above. i could just remove it later, but i'd prefer a straight piping.

I can't pinpoint when it started, but some time in the past several weeks, files have started going out of sync when I view them in VLC Media Player. Initially, sound and video are perfectly synchronized. After 10-20 minutes, it becomes obvious that the actors' mouths are not moving when I hear their lines.
If I stop playback, restart, and resume at the same point in the show, sync is again perfect for a while.
This is a really irritating problem. I cannot even get halfway through a half-hour TV show (really more like 22-26 minutes) without stopping & restarting.
As I stated, it's hard to point to a specific time when the problem started, but it could be connected to the upgrade to VLC 1.1.10.
Here's why I'm pretty sure this is not a problem with my files:
1) They are straight *.iso images of DVDs. No extra conversion/compression/processing so fewer opportunities for errors in the files.
2) The same files play back perfectly in Windows under all circumstances.
How did you fix it? Will we just have to wait for VLC 1.1.11, or is there a fairly easy way I can downgrade to version 1.1.9?
