Software :: How To Change Timestamp Of Symlink
Feb 10, 2010I have a directory containing files and symlinks to files elswhere. I make a copy of the directory like this:
cp -rp dir/* new_dir
The files in new_dir have their original timestamps, but the symlinks have the current time. touch -t does not operate on the symblink but on the files they reference. Is there a way to set the timestamp of the symlink to a time in the past?
Ubuntu :: Change Folder Timestamp Recursively?
Sep 2, 2010I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the timestamps of folders recursively based on the latest timestamp found of the files in that folder.
So for example:
Code:
jon@UbuntuPanther:/media/media/MP3s/Foo Fighters/(1997-05-20) The Colour and The Shape$ ls -alF
total 55220
drwxr-xr-x 2 jon jon 4096 2010-08-30 12:34 ./

General :: Change The Restrictions To Some Normal Text Files?
Oct 23, 2010I'm trying to change the restrictions to some normal text files and their result is not what is expected.
For example, when I put:
chmod 000 testfile.txt
on a file that is
-rwxrwxrwx,
it instead becomes
-r--r--r--.
It doesn't matter whether I do it with a root or the owner of the file, the result is the same.
Also, putting
chmod u-rwx testfile
results in the file becoming, again,
-r--r--r--.
Also, some doesn't have any effect, such as
chmod o-r testfile.
Even if I do this, the result is the same -rwxrwxrwx.
OpenSUSE :: KDE - Change Default Blue Glow / Shadow On Active Window?
May 4, 201011.2
KDE 4.3.5
I have desktop effects on and window shadows enabled. The main windows don't seem to follow this, nor does any taskbar pop-ups when you hover your mouse over them. I even set the shadow settings to high/annoying settings but I only see it on context/right-click menus.
I don't like the blue shadow because it is too light, but I can't seem to find where to change it. This seems to also apply to in-active windows as far as the size of the shadow but with a gray shadow instead. Still, if the desktop effects were effecting this, then the shadows I see should be large. Plus, desktop effects only give you one color choice with it just being darker on the active window. How to change this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Compare File Timestamp In Bash?
May 6, 2010How do I compare the timestamp of two files? I tried this but it doesn't work:
file1time=`stat -c %Y fil1.txt`
file2time=`stat -c %Y file2.txt`
[code]....
I printed both the time stamps, in order and it gives me
1273143480
1254144394
./script.sh: line 13: [1273143480: command not found
So basically if comparision is not working, I guess. Or if there is any other nice way than what I am doing, please let me know.
Edit: There was no space in between if, so changing it to this works:
if [ $file1time -gt $file2time ]

May 27, 2010I am looking for a way to print the timestamp of a directory using find command. I can do that for a file, but for a directory, it is printing the contents of the directory as well. Lets say there is a directory called doc, and there are more than one occurrences of that directory.

This is printing the contents of all the files under doc directory as well.

Oct 1, 2010Today i was going through some of security guides written on linux .Under shadow file security following points were mentioned.1)The encrypted password stored under /etc/shadow file should have more than 14-25 characters.2)Usernames in shadow file must satisfy to all the same rules as usernames in /etc/passwd.3)password for application Username should display * if username is not locked.4)If a user is locked it should be displayed as ! as the first character in second field of shadow file.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Any Way To See Running Commands With Timestamp?
Jul 26, 2010I recently hired a new tech guy to start managing our servers. In doing this I went ahead and upgraded all the servers. It has been awhile now since I sent him the details of the new server and the last time I talked to him he was joking around with one of the other clients not realizing how long it took.
I know on other server moves, my old guy could have everything setup and running in a couple days as a good amount of time is waiting for the data to copy over. I am starting to wonder if this guy is going to try and throw a huge bill at me, so I would like to know what hes doing on the server with time stamps just so I can get a idea of how much time he has been logged into the server. Does this server OS have anything like this built in?
Programming :: Modifying Timestamp Variable In Python?
Oct 29, 2010I've implemented a python script in conky that shows my stock portfolio.But, in the output of last updated timestamp, I get a time several hours in the past. The url for fetching stock data is: [URL]This is a norwegian stock, and I also live in norway. So the timestamp is not translated to the stock market of where it came. I can't find any 'localizing' stuff in the url either.Now my question is this: The script puts the time into a variable, the varable now contains ex 11:23 Is there any way I can add 6 hours or so to this variable
