Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi

I have below requirement.

There are set of files to be monitored for audit purpose.
Source file contains the file name and its location on server.
Need to have shell script which generate a output file which is having the details of above files ( last modified user name ,lat update date,size) if its modified in last 1 day.
This shell script runs once a in day and generate the output and will mail this to set of user.

If any one have reusable code for this please share .
Appreciate your quick help on this.

Use stat if it's available, otherwise use Perl or parse the output of ls.

Hi

Is there any command to know the last modified user of a file.

Need to use this in my shellscript.


Thanks,

Thanks for your reply......
is there any way to find the last modifed user of a file,,,

Do you mean the last user who changed some file? There is no Unix filesystem I'm aware of that stores this sort of meta-information.

Yes....my context is we have a audit requirement and need to develop shell script which generates a output with the details like
Last modified date, File Size, and User ID (for last modifier) .

Here we need to monitor only pre defined set of files not all files.

So I am developing shell script and need this command.

Please let me know is there any other way to find this.

Thanks,

Suman
