activity on a file
is there anyway to tell when an activity is happening on a file.
i'm talking about something deeper than what ls -l can give. when i say activity, i want to know exactly when any commands was run on a specific file. i.e, did anyone run the mail command on this file. did anyone cat this file. did anyone, cp this file anywhere. is this possible in unix? |

From the man page on 'ls': Code:
LS(1) User Commands LS(1)
NAME
ls - list directory contents
SYNOPSIS
ls [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
List information about the FILEs (the current directory by default). Sort entries
alphabetically if none of -cftuSUX nor --sort.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
...
-u with -lt: sort by, and show, access time with -l: show access time and sort
by name otherwise: sort by access time
Other than checking the last access time, no, there is no detailed information about how/what programs accessed a file. Get a man on 'stat' if you want to know what information about a file is stored. |
