Hi!
Is it possible to diplay a complete date MM DD YYYY HH:MM format with ls
command.

A long time ago I remember reading in this group that if the file was
created within last 6-months, Unix will not dispayy YYYY. Is there anyway to
override this, such that the entire date is displayed.

e.g
r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 18308 Jan 22 2005 /usr/bin/klist
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 10088 Jan 22 2005 /usr/bin/kpasswd
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 14724 Jan 22 2005 /usr/bin/ktutil
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 87384 Sep 28 2006 /usr/bin/ftp
-r-sr-xr-x 1 bin 36808 Jan 8 13:20 /usr/bin/rcp <=====YYYY is missing
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 120844 Aug 25 2006 /usr/bin/telnet
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 53636 Jan 22 2005 /usr/bin/filesync
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin 5808 Jan 22 2005 /usr/bin/rdate
-r-sr-xr-x 1 bin 63496 Jan 22 2005 /usr/bin/rdist

My intention is to import the listing collected into a database.

man ls

The -e and -E options do what you want.

there's no -e or -E in my 'ls' 9 ( solaris 8)

/usr/bin/ls [ -aAbcCdfFgilLmnopqrRstux1 ]

Sorry, can't help you then - I only have Solaris 10 boxes to hand.

Thanks!
Yes ls -leg works great. Luckily I am using Solaris 10 x86.
Appreciate your help.

On many versions of 'ls', no.

How are they getting into the database? Usually there are other tools
besides 'ls'.

Perl can give the full date information with a line or two. 'stat' can
be compiled or downloaded.
