how to tell who has edited/modified a file?
I am new to Scripting. I am trying to find out particular file is modified in last one hour or not in script and then if that file is modified in last one hour i need to copy that file to another directory.Can any one please provide me how to check the file is modified in one hour or not?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to write a script that is given a directory as an argument, and it prints the last modified file from that directory and all its subdirectories.
for example:
$ newest /usr/etc
--> /usr/etc/httpd/httpd May 28 12:16
If I had to do it only for the current dir, it would be easy...I'd probably use "ls -lt" and then show only the first line...
so I was wondering how I could do a simple find which would order the results by most recently modified. Here is the current fine I am using. (I am doing a shell escape in php, so that is the reasoning for the variables. find '$dir' -name '$str'* -print | head -10
How could I have this order the search by most recently modified. (Note I do not want it to sort 'after' the search, but rather find the results based on what was most recently modified)
how to find the latest modified directory. I know that the command 'ls -rtl' gives the latest modified file/directory at the end. But my specific requirement is: If I create two directories named dir1, dir2 in the same order. so now my latest modified directory is "dir2". Now inside each directories, I created a file. Now in the last, I modify the file in "dir1". So overall, the content of dir1 got modified recently. If I use the command 'ls -rtl', this will still show dir2 as latest, as it is created recently. But I want the directory in which any internal content at any sub-hierarchy modified recently. so with what linux command I'll get this latest modified directory (dir1)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedLast week I attempted to install some software on my computer (on ubuntu) and I edited a couple of files now I can't update ubuntu. I get 2 error messages:
1. Not all updates can be installed.
- I select partial update
2.Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later.
How can I resolve this issue. I don't remember what files I edited to reverse the damage.
How do I save a file edited with the VI editor? How do I get help information on this program?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

I want to know what system call is used in linux C programming is used to know whether a file is modified. I know that make utility compiles the file using the modification dates only. I want know how to find whether the file is modified or not.

Occasionally however, the setting reverts (by itself somehow) to FSCKFIX=no. Thus my machine cannot boot. Is there a way that I can prevent this file from being changed?

I goggled "search files time Linux" and got about 38,300,000 results. I looked through the first four pages and did not see what I was looking for.Do I need to calculate how many minutes ago that is and give that to find.I really want to do this in the GUI so that I can operate on the files found without typing in so much stuff.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using Bluefish on my laptop to modify files on my desktop web server. The machines are networked with samba. Every time I save the files, I'm prompted with this window that says: File has been modified by another process. It gives me the option to cancel or overwrite. It's the only program that does this. I can click on overwrite and that works, but it's pretty annoying.

Prior to making a fresh install of 10.04, I made a back up of all my documents by copying them to a NTFS partition. I did this my selecting files in File Browser, then right clicking and selecting the Copy command.
When I came to move the files back after the fresh install, I was mortified to find that all the file modification dates had changed to the date I copied them! I've lost all the original file dates, which was the principal way I sorted my files. I guess there's no way of getting it back? It seems that Linux does not store File Creation dates either so I'm stuffed.
I have two linux servers, they are backup together.
1. Server 1 have 3 files with name: file1, file2, file3 in the path: /etc/sysconfig/network-script/.
2. Server 2 have 3 files with name and path are the same as server 1.
- How to make a script to copy 3 files at server1 to overwrite on server2. But before overwrite, this script will check and compare the last modified date of these 3 files(on server1 and server2). if the modified date of file1, file2 or file3 on server1 is newer than 3 files on server2 then overwrite process will do, if not, will do nothing.
- see my script as below: it works find now but just overwrite. not check last modified date.

I have a simple scripting question. I am trying to list all files that have been modified in the last day and then collect metadata on those files. This command is going to be run on a number of nodes via ssh so I would like to append the hostname to start of each line (the below example has blade1 as the hostname). As you can see the loop is splitting the ls command out onto a separate line for each value. What I need to do is keep the `ls -ld` output all on one line and have the hostname echoed in front of each line.
for i in `find /var -mtime -1 | xargs ls -ld`; do echo `hostname` $i; done
blade1 drwxr-xr-x.
blade1 2
blade1 user
blade1 group
blade1 4096
blade1 Nov
blade1 30
blade1 08:55
