retrieve timestamp associated with a file
Hi All,
I am involved in a Datawarehousing project where my data files(ASCII text) are loaded on a Unix directory. When I do a Ls -l in Unix prompt i get a file listing along with the timestamp when these files were created/put on the server. I need to retrieve the timestamp associated with each file. Is there any command that takes in the filename as an argument and returns the timestamp associated with it?? Or is there any other way to get the timestamp for each file..
Urgent help is sought!!
Thanks in advance..
Nilotpal.

pam_timestamp
PAM_TIMESTAMP(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_TIMESTAMP(8)
NAME
pam_timestamp - Authenticate using cached successful authentication attempts
SYNOPSIS
pam_timestamp.so [timestamp_timeout=number] [verbose] [debug]
DESCRIPTION
In a nutshell, pam_timestamp caches successful authentication attempts, and allows you to use a recent successful attempt as the basis for
authentication. This is similar mechanism which is used in sudo.
When an application opens a session using pam_timestamp, a timestamp file is created in the timestampdir directory for the user. When an
application attempts to authenticate the user, a pam_timestamp will treat a sufficiently recent timestamp file as grounds for succeeding.
OPTIONS
timestamp_timeout=number
How long should pam_timestamp treat timestamp as valid after their last modification date (in seconds). Default is 300 seconds.
verbose
Attempt to inform the user when access is granted.
debug
Turns on debugging messages sent to syslog(3).
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
The auth and session module types are provided.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_AUTH_ERR
The module was not able to retrieve the user name or no valid timestamp file was found.
PAM_SUCCESS
Everything was successful.
PAM_SESSION_ERR
Timestamp file could not be created or updated.
NOTES
Users can get confused when they are not always asked for passwords when running a given program. Some users reflexively begin typing
information before noticing that it is not being asked for.
EXAMPLES
auth sufficient pam_timestamp.so verbose
auth required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
session optional pam_timestamp.so
FILES
/var/run/sudo/...
timestamp files and directories
